Several years back when I was in the aircrash investigating line, the common
wisdom identified "Oh, shit" on the cockpit recording as identifying
self-recognized pilot error leading to the crash.

On the other hand, recent cockpit recordings show both "shit" and
"fuck" in the face of an impending crash.
