The National Transportation Safety Board recently divulged they had
covertly funded a project with the U.S. auto maker Ford 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 last 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 Wisconsin was different, where 89.3 percent of the
final words were: "Hold my beer and watch this!"
