NTSB Releases New Study on Trucks

The National Transportation Safety Board

recently divulged they had

covertly funded a project with US auto makers for

the past five years,

whereby the auto makers were installing 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 45 of the 50

states the last words of

drivers in 61.2 percent of fatal crashes were,

"Oh, Shit!"

Only the states of Oklahoma, Missouri,

Arkansas, Alabama and Texas

were different, where over 89.3 percent of the

final words were, " Hold my

beer and watch this".
