TRUCK BLACK BOXES
The National Transportation Safety Board recently divulged that they had, for the past five years, covertly funded a project with U.S. auto makers whereby the auto makers installed black boxes in four-wheel drive pickup 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 43 of the 50 states that the last words of drivers in 61.2 percent of fatal crashes were, "Oh, xxxx."
Only in Mississippi, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, and Tennessee were final responses different. In those states, more than 89.3 percent of the final words were,
"Hold my beer and watch this."
