Last 15 seconds before a crash
Study Revealed
The National Transportation Safety Board recently divulged it had covertly funded a project with the U.S. auto maker 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 Georgia was different, where 89.3 percent of the final words were: “Hold my beer and watch this!”
