NTSB Research

(AP report)
~~~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 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 44 of the 50 states the
recorded ''last words'' of drivers in 61.2 percent of <fatal crashes>
were, "Oh, S**t!"
~~~~~Only the states of NE Texas,North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia,
SW Arkansas, Alabama and Kentucky were different, where 89.3 percent
of the final words were, " Gurt dear,Hold My Beer, I'm gonna try
somethin’." ~~~smile, Bjay~~
