In well over eighty percent of aircraft crashes, those are the last words heard on the cockpit voice recorder.
Someone else said something wiser......
And the airplane didn't crash.
Welcome back, blog-sis... and happy landings, too!

I read a book once that said that's a useful method of determining if a crash was due to pilot error. If the pilot says "Oh shit," right before impact there's a good chance it was his fault.

mollbot: doesn't seem reliable to me. i'd say that whether i caused the accident or not.

Well you're probably right. I'm no pilot but in the three car crashes I was in (only one of them my fault) I said "Oh shit!" every time.
