    I heard one black box where the pilot’s final words were just a very resigned, almost conversational, “Goddamnit.”

      I heard one where the pilot exclaimed “we’re doing it!” [or something similar] as he managed to fly the 747 inverted, seconds before hitting the ocean.

          It seems like it should be Alaska Air flight 261. But I can’t find the source on the saying. Maybe I dreamed it!

      Strong chance my final words will be “Oh shoot, shoooot.” Even tho I swear like a sailor, if it’s really bad, I go for clean language.
