Black Box in Cars
The U.S. 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 box voice recorders in
four-wheel drive pickup trucks and SUV's in an effort to
determine, in fatal accidents, the circumstances in the
last 15 seconds before the crash.
They were surprised to find in 40 of the 50 states the
recorded last words of drivers in 61.2% of fatal crashes
were, "Oh Shit!"
Only the states of West Virginia, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Louisiana, Georgia, Arkansas, Alabama,
Mississippi, Oklahoma and Texas were different, where 89% of the final words were: "Hold my beer, I'm gonna try somethin."
