News Flash: The National Transportation Safety Board recently divulged they
had covertly funded a project with the U.S. auto makers for the past five
years whereby the auto makers were installing black boxes in four-wheel
drive pick-up trucks in an effort to determine, in fatal accidents, the
circumstances in the 15 seconds before the crash. They were surprised to
find in 49 of the 50 states the last words of drivers in 61.2 percent of
fatal crashes were, "Oh, Shit!" Only the state of Alabama was different,
where 89.3 percent of the final words were: "Hold my beer and watch this!"
