DAVE PETTITT (NARRATES): This time
on Heavy Rescue: 401...
2
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:07,080
It's quite a mess.
..border backup...
3
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:08,640
This is a big problem.
4
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:09,960
..brings a load of trouble.
5
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,200
Wow, wow, wow.
She looks like a doozy.
6
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:13,760
Zach tests his skill...
7
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:14,880
Go very, very slow.
8
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:16,000
That's what I've been doing.
9
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:18,080
(THUDS)
Zach! OK, whoa, whoa!
10
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:19,680
Oh, my god.
11
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:23,240
..and a deep-frozen semi...
12
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,280
puts Sonny on edge.
13
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:37,960
On the 401 in Toronto,
14
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,760
a clear day quickly turns...
15
00:00:44,160 --> 00:00:45,920
into a messy afternoon.
16
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:00,240
Drivers across the city
are caught in the storm.
17
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,640
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
18
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,200
The front pushes eastward
across the province...
19
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,360
blasting the highway
outside Cornwall.
20
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,240
We just had our first car
in the ditch,
21
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,240
So, I guess the roads are starting
to get a little greasy.
22
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:30,200
Sergeant Peter Ralston is heading
right into the worst of it,
23
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,840
looking for drivers
who fail to adjust.
24
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:36,760
If you're coming
into a snow squall,
25
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,120
increase your travelling distance.
26
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:40,280
Slow down.
27
00:01:40,320 --> 00:01:42,000
Put on your hazards.
28
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,640
Just east of town,
near Bainsville...
29
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,000
Three Alpha Two Four Zero,
I copy that.
30
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,960
I'll respond from Highway 401.
31
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:55,280
..a call to a live-lane breakdown
in a bad spot...
32
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,080
People will be travelling
down the road,
33
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,800
and may not see
the broken-down motorist,
34
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:02,840
the broken-down truck
until the last minute.
35
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,480
..and Herb's Towing
is on the way.
36
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,120
So, we're going to head
down there as fast as we can,
37
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:14,960
see if we can remove him off
the roadway
38
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,400
before he causes an accident
obstructing traffic.
39
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,080
With the crew attacking jobs
all over the area,
40
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:26,960
22-year-old operator Zach Thompson
will be on his own...
41
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,800
his first heavy job
with no one to help.
42
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,440
We're dealing with wind,
so it's blowing the snow around.
43
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:34,800
Reduced visibility.
44
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,680
I could only see the tractor-trailer
from so far away.
45
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:43,040
What's wrong with the truck?
46
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,400
Is it automatic or manual?
47
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:48,440
Ugh.
48
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,680
As the wheels roll,
they'll turn the drive shaft
49
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,280
and components
inside the transmission,
50
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,200
but an automatic transmission
51
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,080
is only lubricated
when the engine is running.
52
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:00,800
You have to pull
the drive shaft immediately.
53
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:02,040
You can't even move it an inch,
54
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,960
or you can cause severe damage
to the transmission.
55
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:07,880
(GRUNTS) Even with this snow,
56
00:03:07,920 --> 00:03:09,800
traffic's not slowing down.
57
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,800
It wasn't a fun feeling
trying to hook up the truck,
58
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:14,360
and you hear
all these cars whizzing by,
59
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:15,960
knowing
what the road conditions are like.
60
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:20,520
OK, I think I got it there now.
61
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:23,480
Do you have any air in your truck?
62
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,000
Air?
Yeah.
63
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,400
Air, no.
(GROANS) Oh, my god.
64
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,240
So, the truck's brakes are locked.
65
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,080
One more problem.
66
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:34,680
He's got no air in his truck!
67
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,120
It's just everything
that can go wrong
68
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:37,240
is going wrong right now.
69
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:39,920
This is insane.

(THEME MUSIC)
71
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,840
On North America's
busiest highway...
72
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:48,200
closure...
73
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:50,640
is not an option.

75
00:03:58,200 --> 00:03:59,440
How are ya?

Good, you?
Good!
77
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,360
I'm hurrying, I'm hurrying!
78
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,440
Yeah, just do it safely.
79
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:05,960
There's definitely
a sense of urgency
80
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:07,880
whenever you've got the police
on scene.
81
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:10,240
It's extremely important for us
82
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,800
to get rid of this vehicle
as fast as possible
83
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,680
So, that it doesn't create
a secondary collision.

the drive shaft.

With the truck not running...
87
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,080
it can't move...
88
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,120
or else we'll damage
the transmission.
89
00:04:38,280 --> 00:04:39,600
Aw, I need a hammer.
90
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:47,040
Right now, we're just fighting
91
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:48,440
with it trying
to get it to come off.
92
00:04:50,280 --> 00:04:51,480

00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:54,720
Holy!
94
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,400
I gotta put air into it,
and then I'm good to go.

and cleaning up
long after it's over.

the night's gonna turn into morning.

for the books.

120 miles down the highway,
108
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,800
the storm is still pounding the road
west of Kingston.

00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,040
It's a very bad storm.

00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,640
Sonny Subra is heading
more than 120 miles
111

from his familiar turf
in Toronto.

Leading Prompt Towing's
new heavy division,

he's been called to a job
in the east.
114
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,520
Sonny's committed to building
the company's reputation
115
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:38,840
in heavy rescue.
116
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,640

is...it's pretty bad,

you know, it's slippery.
120
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,080
It's very dangerous.
121
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,960
As he closes in on the location,
Sonny stops to check
122
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,560
with local OPP managing the scene...
123
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:02,720
Tomorrow?

Tomorrow morning?

00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,040
..but after his long drive,
126
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,800
the police don't give Sonny
the go-ahead.
127
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:11,120
OK, man. OK, thank you.
128
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,240
Thank you so much. Bye.
129
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,120
They don't want me to do it
at night in the bad weather,
130
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:17,920
because of safety concern.
131
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:19,520
Well, I tried, you know.
132
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:20,800
This is really tough.
133
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,560
I am really pissed off
and frustrated,
134
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:28,800
but other side, I think about
my safety, and they are 100% right.
135
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,680
It's scheduled to do it
tomorrow morning, 9.
136
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,360
I have a doctor appointment
tomorrow morning, 9:30.

Sonny and his wife, Suma,
139
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:49,120
spent the summer
settling into their new dream house.
140
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,120
(LAUGHS)
I don't know. What did you do?
141
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:52,200
I don't know.
142
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:56,360
Now, they're approaching
an even bigger milestone.
143
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,520
My wife told me she's pregnant.
144
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,960
Salmon is really good for pregnancy.
145
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:02,120
(CHUCKLES)
146
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,000
We are really happy
about it, really excited to see it.
147
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,080
How is it?
Too salty.
148
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:09,760
Always complain, eh?
149
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,360
With an ultrasound tomorrow,
150
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,600
Sonny's torn between duty
to his new company
151
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:18,880
and to his family.
152
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,000
By morning,
the storm has blown through,
153
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,360
and Prompt Towing is ready
to tackle the job.
154
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,360
I'm hoping we should be able
to get this thing out, two trucks...
155
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,280
with the two trucks that we have.
156
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,600
..but it won't be Sonny
on the controls.
157
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,920
Sonny had an appointment
with his wife, Suma.
158
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:49,040
He has a baby coming.
159
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:51,920
Prompt owner Thusi Mylvoganam
160
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,160
will be leading
the recovery himself.
161
00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,040
Did he already do the other side?
162
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,400
No, let's look at it, other side.
163
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:05,520
Thusi started to expand
from light duty into heavy recovery
164
00:09:05,560 --> 00:09:10,600
just a few months ago, but he needed
someone with experience on the road.
165
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,320
We just didn't have
the right guy for the heavy,
166
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:17,080
so one day I met up with Sonny,
and I knew, like, that day,
167
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,760
from that day, I need to have Sonny
in one of my trucks.
168
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,920
They just put my name on it,
so everybody knows it's my truck,
169
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:25,000
so...
170
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:26,120
feels good.
171
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,680
Today, Sonny's truck
is back in Toronto,
172
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,320
and the boss will have to take
the reins himself.
173
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:39,080
How you doing, Officer?
174
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:40,120
Good.
175
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:41,200
We're trying our best.
176
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:42,880
Soon as possible,
we'll try to get it out, OK?
177
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:44,360
Yup.
178
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,520
This job's pretty important
to Prompt.
179
00:09:46,560 --> 00:09:48,480
We need to prove
that we can get it done.
180
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,040
We're trying to do it
as soon as possible.
181
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:53,600
They want the traffic opened up.
182
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:58,200
But the semi, loaded
with 48,000 pounds of groceries,
183
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,040
and hauling an extra set of axles,
184
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:05,280
has been freezing
into the mud for over 12 hours.
185
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,280
We didn't realise
that the truck was off the road
186
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,600
and the mud, the water,
everything frozen there.
187
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:12,200
We were only able to see, like,
188
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,040
the top of the trailer tires
from the mud.
189
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,400
Like, it sank,
and that's how deep it was.
190
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:17,800
You wanna set
your truck up first,
191
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:19,040
then, I'll set mine up after?
192
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:20,120
Yeah.
193
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:24,440
The mired wheels can add up
to 100% resistance,
194
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:30,000
like fighting two trucks at once,
so Thusi's called in Kumar,
195
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,240
an operator from another company.
196
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,840
Our rigging plan
was to get a winch line
197
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:35,920
from Kumar's truck...
198
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:36,960
Oh!
199
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,040
..hooked up to the front
of the truck on the tow pin...
200
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:42,200
..and from my truck,
201
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,320
we actually hooked up
to the fifth wheel.
202
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:45,560
It's all frozen.
203
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:48,520
With the amount of mud and ice,
204
00:10:48,560 --> 00:10:50,800
I think this is going
to be a pretty tough recovery.
205
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:52,520
Let's put the thing on the road.
206
00:10:52,560 --> 00:10:53,560
OK, go.
207

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
208
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,080
The tractor starts to move...
209
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:11,440
Ah, hold on, Kumar.
210
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:12,680
Kumar, now hold on.
211
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,200
..but the icy grip
on the trailer...
212
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,440
Wait, wait.
..is just too strong.
213
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,120
Pretty stuck in there.
214
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,440
It wasn't actually coming out.
215
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:23,920
It was just turning the truck.
216
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,400
We want it to come straight
instead of tilt on that side.
217
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,520
We're going to reposition.
218
00:11:31,560 --> 00:11:34,520
They need to exert more force
on the trailer...
219
00:11:34,560 --> 00:11:37,280
Stop.
..without tipping it.
220
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,080
We're putting an additional line
221
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,120
right in between the axles,
222
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,160
So, when he pulls up,
the trailer's steady
223
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:45,760
and not leaning too much
on this side.
224
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:47,080
OK, I'm going, OK?
225
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:48,200
OK.
226
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:50,880

Stop, stop, stop. Kumar, wait.
231
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:04,600
Kumar, wait.
232
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:05,880
You see what's going on, right?
233
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:07,680
It's trying to lean on this side.
234
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:08,840
It's digging in, right?
235
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:12,520
My main concern
236
00:12:12,560 --> 00:12:14,760
was the trailer leaning
over on the other side.
237
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,160
We can start pulling,
but once the load
238
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,000
is shifted on one side,
it will flip.
239
00:12:24,680 --> 00:12:27,280
And now,
they're running out of time.
240
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,000
A lot of traffic's
starting to roll through...
241
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:30,080
OK.
242
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:31,960
..and I don't need
a back-end crash in the queue.
243
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:33,120
That's true.
OK?
244
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:35,280
Here's where we stand.
245
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:36,840
You've got one hour
to finish the job.
246
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:37,880
OK.
247
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:39,520

in an hour, you're done.

At the eastern end of the 401,
251
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:56,120
traces of last night's storm
still cover the highway...
252
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,440
..and at Herb's yard in Cornwall...
253
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:05,840
So, right now, we're off to a wreck.
254
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,560
We brought the 80.
I'm in the 40-ton.

out on the road.

right through the night,

but there's more work ahead.
259
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,640
It's like coming off
from a boxing match
260
00:13:22,680 --> 00:13:24,080
and you just survived this round.
261
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:25,720
You're going into the ring
for another hell
262
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:26,880
of a round because that's...
263
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:28,480
that's what these storms
will do to you.
264
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,800
You're going back for a good fight.
265
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:32,560
Aw, yeah, she looks like a doozy.
266
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,200
Let's go see
what we're working with here.
267
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,080
The transport
was heading eastbound
268
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,480
when another vehicle veered
into its path
269
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:50,440
and made a sudden stop,
270
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,960
forcing the semi driver
to react fast.
271
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:58,360
The driver,
and he had two options,
272
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,200
either rear-end the car
in front of him,
273
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,040
or take the safer option
was to ditch his own truck
274
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,800
and avoid, you know,
possibly killing somebody.
275
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,600
The driver prevented
a second collision,
276
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:12,320
but the truck is now trapped
behind the guardrail.
277
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,520
A lot of times
it's a lot easier just to pull
278
00:14:14,560 --> 00:14:15,880
it sideways towards you.
279
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:17,440
The fact
that the guardrail was there,
280
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,440
we couldn't really do that.
281
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:20,600
OK, Bill.
282
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:23,680
I'll have you come back here
283
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:25,800
and we're going to position
the 80 about right here.
284
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:30,200
They'll need the 80-ton rotator
to wrestle it out...
285
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,040
There we go, that's good.
286
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,120
..with Bill Fell on the controls.
287
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,840
Being that it was so close
to the beginning of the guard rail,
288
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:42,160
we had to pull it back
before we could pull it sideways.
289
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:45,360
OK.
290
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:48,520
How can a strap be this heavy?
291
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:53,520
OK, well...
292
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:54,760
Is that where we want it?
293
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:57,800
We didn't have a lot
of room to work with.
294
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,400
These trucks
were very close together.
295
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:02,800
There was pretty
much no room for error.
296
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:10,520
Just before noon,
Herb himself arrives to check in.
297
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,040
OK. Everybody ready?
298
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,560
The angle of the ditch
was quite substantial,
299
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:20,560
So, it made the angle
for the recovery
300
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,320
a little bit more of a gradient
than the average.
301
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,320
We're all going
to follow you, Bill.
302
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:26,760
You're going to lead
with the trailer.
303
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:35,080
Bill will pull the trailer
with Zach following on the tractor.
304
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:38,240
They'll ease it past the rail
and onto the road.
305
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:43,280
Bill must set the pace.
306
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:47,480
If Zach is too fast, the semi
could tip on the slope,
307
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:51,000
with 43,000 pounds inside.
308
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:52,160
Brakes off?
309
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,040
Brakes are off.
Ready when you are.
310
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,640
Andrew will help steer
from the cab
311
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:02,000
while his father keeps
an eye out on the ground.
312
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:03,960
OK, start pulling, make sure
313
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,640
your grey has always got
some pressure on it, OK?
314
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:10,240
And I just follow him with mine?
315
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:11,400
Yeah.
316
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:15,960
Whoa, your blue.
317
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:19,800
Slow down, uh, Zach.
318
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:20,920
Yeah.
319
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,280
You know, when both bosses
are on scene,
320
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:28,040
Zach doesn't know who to listen
to, so he gets a little nervous.
321
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,720
I'm still very green
at this heavy recovery stuff,
322
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:33,520
and I want to prove
to them I can do it.
323
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:38,520
You're gonna roll over it.
Whoa!
324
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:40,000
Snug it up.
325
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:41,640
Like, the drag?
Yeah.
326
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,680
Zach was having
little issues with,
327
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:45,760
you know, matching up the speed.
328
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,040
OK, so you're going
to take your time, and...
329
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,160
The drag is going too fast.
330
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:53,440
He's overpowering me.
331
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:57,920
You gotta follow him, Zach.
332
00:16:57,960 --> 00:16:59,920
You gotta go real smooth
on the controls.
333
00:16:59,960 --> 00:17:01,320
Yeah.
334
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,600
Zach was really, really feeling
the pressure.
335
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:05,680
Herb was watching him like a hawk.
336
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:08,720
OK, go very, very slow.
337
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:09,760
That's what I was doing.
338
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:11,200
OK, well,
you were going too fast yet.
339
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:14,560
OK.
340
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:16,840
You got to go slower.
341
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:17,920
I can't, like, I...
342
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,440
OK, stop, stop.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
343
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,120

344
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,280

345
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:25,400
I can't, like, I'm...
346
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:37,000
120 miles west,
Thusi's deadline is looming...
347
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:39,360
If they don't get it
done this time,
348
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,360
then we'll tell them no,
they're done.
349
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,880
You see how it's leaning
too much on one side, right?
350
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:45,120
Aw, geez.
351
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,640
..but the frozen mud

When somebody calls you
and tells you to get a job done,
353
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,160
it's very important to get it done.
354
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,560
Thusi wants more support
on the leaning back end.
355
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,160
Kumar's truck,
it was more heavier than mine...
356
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,120
It's OK, it's OK.
357
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,680
I thought it would be safer
to have his truck to secure it,
358
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:06,160
and then my truck to pull it.
359
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:07,400

366
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,120
Kumar's front wheels
were lifting off the ground.
367
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:34,000
There's the possibility of having
both of our wreckers tip over.
368
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,120
Every time the front wheel goes off
the ground, that's...

We're worried.
370

Stop. Kumar, stop.
371
00:18:41,360 --> 00:18:43,360
At this point in time,
traffic is going to start
372
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,800
to increase dramatically to a point
that it becomes dangerous
373
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:48,400
for backlog on the highway,
374
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,440
and we want to get people moving
through the area.
375

have this on the road

No.
We're done.

The OPP officer
tells me the time's up.
379
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,760
That's when I was, like, devastated.
380
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,760

we needed more pulling power.

because I left for appointment.

00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:18,400
They couldn't do it,
384
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:19,880
because they don't have
one more truck.
385
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,960
We were hoping to get it done
within the time period,
386
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:26,720

of a long night on the road.
393
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:55,200
The challenge is Zach's tired
and is not feathering the winches
394
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,520
to be as smooth or as slow
as I would have liked.
395
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:02,160
When you're tired, you don't think
quite as quick, you know?
396
00:20:04,360 --> 00:20:05,480
There you go.
397
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:08,480
They're at the crucial point
398
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:12,280
where the semi needs to move up
the slope.
399
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:13,720
Yeah, bring 'er right over.

00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:18,640

404
00:20:23,360 --> 00:20:24,840
that starts running
through your body.
405
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:26,000
We're gonna de-rig a bit.
406
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,280
We're gonna get Bill
to move up ahead.
407
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:29,400
He'll pull up backwards,
408
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,480
then I'll be pulling the truck
onto the road.
409
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:36,120
The tractor is now 10ft down
the ditch from the back of the semi,
410
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:40,040
and the weight is pushing
into the front of the trailer.
411
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:41,880
Pulling ahead.
412
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,720
It made it a little trickier
because of the weight...
413
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:45,800
OK.
414
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,920
..and because of the angle
of the ditch.
415
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:51,280
They need to ease it up
416
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:54,120
without the weight bottoming out
the tractor.
417
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:55,760
Hey, Bill?
Yeah?
418
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:57,160

Keep going.

The Herb's crew
is fighting a steep slope
430
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:46,920
that's grabbed onto the semi.
431
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,000
It's digging into the ground here.
432

She was mangled pretty good.
433

We were getting a little frustrated
at this wreck.

00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:54,760
No, the other way.
435
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:59,440
They need to lift higher,
so they add a high line
436
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,360
from the rotator on one end,
437
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,640

on the other.

Do I do anything right now?
441
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,440

on your yellow than your grey.

00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:29,560

00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:37,120
OK, wait a sec.
447
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:43,520
..but instead of moving back
in line with the road...
448
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:44,960
OK, whoa! Whoa!
449
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,400
..the trailer is heading
right into the wrecker.
450

A little too close for comfort.
451
00:22:52,360 --> 00:22:54,600
Because the road
had no ice or no snow on it,
452
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:56,400
the trailer didn't want to slide.
453

OK!
454
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:02,320
They need the rotator in closer
to redirect the trailer's path.
455
00:23:02,360 --> 00:23:06,480
Back up to it about 20ft,
and I'll have you lift it,

at the right speed
461
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,160
and stay on the controls.

my game
463
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:29,480
and make sure
that I can do this properly.
464
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:31,000
OK, keep...
465
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:32,320
keep lifting and turn.
466
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:36,440
You gotta go half that speed, Zach.
467
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,520

you were at, keep pulling.

to rub elbows with people

you can go a long way.

00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:45,680
..and it's already shaping up
to be a big job.
529
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,880
Two trucks and a smaller,
caravan-style truck
530
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:50,720
that was in the middle
of the two of them.
531
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,560
Unfortunately, the driver
of that truck didn't make it.
532
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,920
The OPP has just finished
the investigation into the cause
533
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:00,600
of the tragedy.
534
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:04,200
The Preferred crew needs
to focus on the work ahead.
535
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:07,040
Kyle, you ready?
Yes.
536
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,800
We generally start
with the wreckage from the front,
537
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:10,920
work your way back.
538
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:14,080
OK, nice light pull,
let's see what it does.
539
00:27:14,120 --> 00:27:16,360
Kyle's going to be
on the front of the first truck
540
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:17,720
that we're moving out.
541
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,360
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
542
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:26,120
There it goes.
543
00:27:27,360 --> 00:27:30,600
There's a lot more damage
than what we were expecting.
544
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:33,880
Wow, that's quite a mess.
545
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:36,720
OK.
546
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:41,960
Just got some issues
in this trailer here.
547
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:43,000
See that?
548
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:44,560
Yeah, that's flipped over.
549
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:45,680
Yep.
550
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:48,720
7,300 pounds.
551
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:52,280
So, that weighs as much
as your average pickup truck.
552
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:54,600
You definitely don't want
this moving.
553
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:57,800
Worst-case scenario here
is this decides to fall over
554
00:27:57,840 --> 00:27:59,480
while we're transporting it back
to the yard.
555
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:01,400
It will go through the wall
of the trailer,
556
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:02,760
and it will take off on us.
557
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,120
This is a big problem for us.
558
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:10,000
Wow.
559
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:11,160
Wow, wow, wow.
560
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:20,440
At the edge
of the Blue Water Bridge...
561
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,040
This is a big problem for us,
562
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:28,320
'cause going down the road,
this thing could shift.
563
00:28:28,360 --> 00:28:32,800
..Gary and Collin need to secure
a shifted roll of paper
564
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:35,480
to stop it from breaking loose.
565
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:37,200
That's crazy.
566
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:39,920
Hey, Coll, what if we take
a strap, get you a whole round one,
567
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:41,000
and you wrap it around?
568
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,840
I just don't know where I'm going
to hook to is the only problem.
569
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:45,360
Just around the other roll.
570
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,480
I'll let you tie that off
when you're done,
571
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:49,040
then we'll start pulling
this thing apart.
572
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,080
Hopefully, it will hold
for us long enough to get it back
573
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:57,480
to our yard.
574
00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:58,640
Hey, Kyle?
575
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:00,280
Come take a look over here with me.
576
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,000
Once we deal with one issue,
577
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:05,040
got to deal with the load
on the next trailer.
578
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:07,320
Let's get in the back door,
let's see what we've got.
579
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,200
Survey says...
580
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:10,920
Well, they've all moved forward.
581
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:15,960
Five scissor lifts, each weighing
almost 5,000 pounds,
582
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:19,480
have broken free
of their tie-down straps.
583
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:21,680
The trailers aren't designed
to take all that weight
584
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:22,840
in one location.
585
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:24,680
And you just don't want
to be going down the road
586
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:26,040
and have this trailer break in two.
587
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:29,680
And let's winch a couple
of these backwards.
588
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:32,560
OK. That's good.
589
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:35,200
It doesn't want
to come straight back,
590
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,680
So, we're gonna use two lines
to steer this.
591
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:41,200
Perfect.
592
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:43,760
As Collin redistributes
the lifts...
593
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:45,600
That's about
where I want that one.
594
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:48,720
I can't do this with one hand.
595
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:51,240
..Gary helps prep
the paper trailer
596
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:52,400
to be hauled away.
597
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,360
I'm stretching my limits
in really what I should be doing
598
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:57,520
with my hand,
599
00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:58,800
but I'm gonna push through this.
600
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:00,040
We've got a job to be done.
601
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:11,680
And as the crew rolls
the paper semi away...
602
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:18,440
they reveal the full damage
to the van caught in the middle.
603
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:24,400
OK, let's give it a try.
604
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:29,720
Any time you have
a fatality like this...
605
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:32,480
it's a different kind of recovery.
606
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:37,600
There's always that thought
in the back of your mind
607
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:39,640
that somebody
has just lost someone today.
608
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:42,320
Keep going!
609
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:45,120
You try not to focus
too much on it...
610
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:49,000
but it's tough.
611
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:53,440
Collin, you ready to come in here?
612
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:54,520
Yeah.
613
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:59,120
They'll need all their focus
for the final phase.
614
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:00,800
Let's get you in position.
615
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,440
It looks like
this cab is knocked off.
616
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:05,040
It's been hit really, really hard.
617
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:08,400
It's a messy, time-consuming job,
618
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:11,280
and border-bound traffic
has been rerouting
619
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:14,600
through the city
for almost eight hours.
620
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:16,920
There is definitely
a lot of pressure for us
621
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:18,440
to get this highway reopened,
622
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:21,280
get the trucks back onto the highway
where they need to be.
623
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:44,920
Back near Napanee,
Thusi is heading to finish his job.
624
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,240
When they shut us down,
we were exhausted,
625
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:52,120
So, we needed more people
and more power.
626
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:54,320
He'll have that help...
627
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:57,320
Sonny Subra and his 50-ton wrecker.
628
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,640
They tried their best,
but it didn't want to come out.
629
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:05,240
This is a really important moment
630
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:08,480
and I'm really, I'm glad to go back
and help them out.
631
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:13,960
This is a reefer, right?
632
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:16,560
Oh, my god!
633
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:19,440
This is stuck pretty good, eh?
634
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:23,440
Sonny's getting his first look
at the stubborn semi.
635
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:37,480
It's sunk in pretty good.
636
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:39,560
We had a hard time
in the morning, holy...
637
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,640
The crew is banking
that Sonny's truck
638
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,160
will be enough to make
the difference.
639
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:48,080
The mud and ice
is impacting the recovery,
640
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,160
because it's a huge resistance.
641
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:54,080
It's really hard for us
to pull it out without a huge force.
642
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:58,040
We'll hook up one here,
and one there.
643
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:00,400
We should be able to get it out.
644
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,640
My truck, we put it
on the front of the tractor,
645
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:06,080
far away from the trailer,
646
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,760
So, because I know
we're gonna pull it a long way.
647
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:10,600
Come on.
648
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:12,600
Should be good, no?
It's 200ft.
649
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:13,960
Should be. Should be good.
650
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:18,000
Sonny will pull from the front
651
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:21,440
while Kumar assists
on the tractor's fifth wheel.
652
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:25,240
Thusi will pull the trailer,
and also hold it upright.
653
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:29,440
Strap!
654
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:32,440
(INAUDIBLE). OK, lift.
655
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:35,600
OK, pull the winch!
656
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:36,720
A little bit more!
657
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:37,960
Yeah, yeah, it's tightening up,
658
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:39,080
it's tightening up.
659
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:41,400
For Sonny...
660
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:42,480
Ready to go?
661
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:44,520
..this is the chance
to show Thusi
662
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:47,520
he made the right call
bringing him on board.
663
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:50,120
If there's anything going
to happen, it's all on me,
664
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:53,760
but we have three trucks,
hopefully enough to pull it out.
665
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:56,360
Are we pulling?
666
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:57,680
Yeah, let's go, guys.
667
00:33:57,720 --> 00:33:59,320
Everybody start pulling slowly.
668
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:03,040
I'm worried
this tractor-trailer's
669
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:07,400
stuck pretty bad
and it's gonna fight us.
670
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:13,800
Is it moving?
671
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:18,200
(INTENSE MUSIC)
672
00:34:18,240 --> 00:34:20,240
It's nothing happening,
it's not moving.
673
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:23,080
With three trucks, it's not moving.
674
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:24,360
Keep going, keep going.
675
00:34:26,720 --> 00:34:28,360
I'm ready here.
676
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:29,800
OK.
677
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,520
On Highway 402 at the U.S.
border...
678
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:37,560
it's been eight hours
since traffic came to a stop...
679
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:40,400
It's clear. You got 'er.
680
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:43,680
..and Collin is turning
to the final job...
681
00:34:43,720 --> 00:34:45,320
That's probably good
right there, Collin.
682
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:49,600
..the demolished tractor,
barely holding together.
683
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:52,760
With a hit like this, this truck,
684
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:54,800
there's no way
we're gonna be able to tow it.
685
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:56,920
Is there anything holding
that on?
686
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,640
Just the front mount
right there, by the looks of it.
687
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:02,280
This cab is pretty well
right off the frame.
688
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:04,360
It looks like
it's sheared right off.
689
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:05,960
Let's do a quick lift on it.
690
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:07,080
OK.
691
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:10,000
You got it?
I got it.
692
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:11,640
We're gonna actually try
to get this cab
693
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:13,120
back onto the frame now.
694
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:15,600
OK, it's hooked on my side.
695
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:18,240
OK, blue's hooked.
696
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:23,040
If Collin can ease it
into place in one piece,
697
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:28,040
he can speed up the job,
but it's a precision manoeuvre.
698
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:29,640
(OBJECTS SHATTERING)

No, not at all.
702
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:46,720
I like that.
703
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:50,520
I'm definitely getting tired.
704
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:53,400
With my dad not being able to help
as much as he has,
705
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:55,680
I've been doing
a lot of the slugging and whatnot.
706
00:35:57,960 --> 00:35:59,080
Whoa!
707
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:00,920
It's nice to see
the light at the end of the tunnel.
708
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:05,520
OK, you couldn't ask
for a more perfect frickin' landing
709
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:06,800
than that!
710
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:08,400
Bang on. Perfect.
711
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:10,520
What a pro.
I'm really happy with him.
712
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:15,000
We're outta here, 15 minutes,
and you got your highway back.
713
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:16,080
Sweet.
714
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:19,960
We're almost done.
715
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:21,960
Go home and have some supper.
716
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:26,400
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
717
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:46,720
Kumar, now the back winch!
718
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:48,880
Pull it...
Pull it hard on the back winch!
719
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:52,000
On the 401 at Napanee...
720
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:59,600
Sonny and Thusi are fighting
to pry the semi loose
721
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:02,120
from the ground's frozen grip.
722
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:03,560
Keep going, keep going.
723
00:37:07,720 --> 00:37:09,320
OK!
724
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:10,440
She's coming!
725
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:16,720
Let's go, let's go!
726
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:18,120
Keep pulling, guys, keep pulling.
727
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:22,400
OK.
728
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:24,120
Stop, stop, guys!
729
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:26,160
They've got
the truck moving forward
730
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:27,840
and nearing the slope.
731
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:33,360
Now the almost 50,000 pounds
of cargo poses a new threat.
732
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:34,440
If there's a load shift,
733
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:36,720
the trailer can roll over
and flip over,
734
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:40,920
and we gonna be there
for all day and night.
735
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:42,840
They need to reposition.
736
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:45,600
Keep coming, man. Keep coming.
737
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:49,960
The plan is to pull
from farther ahead
738
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:53,920
to more gradually ease
the semi up to the road...
739
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:55,600
Stop it like that.
740
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:56,720
Yeah.
741
00:37:57,800 --> 00:37:59,400
I am ready. OK, ready to go.
742
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:04,200
It's going tough,
but we hope it's gonna come out.
743
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:06,600
..but the weight inside
744
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:09,440
is still pulling
the trailer sideways.
745
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:11,800
Yeah, pull it, pull it, pull it!
746
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:16,080
It's coming, she's coming.
747
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:17,160
Hey!
748
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:22,240
Sonny, stop, stop!
No, no, stop, stop!
749
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:24,680
The truck's trying to tip over.
750
00:38:24,720 --> 00:38:27,160
This is fully loaded,
so we have a big problem.
751
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:30,000
We are really scared
about rolling over...
752
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:31,360
Very careful.
753
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:33,120
..so we had to throw
one more strap
754
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:35,160
and then one more line
to hold the trailer
755
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:36,400
while we are pulling it up.
756
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:37,640
OK, that's good.
757
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:40,800
Time's ticking, guys, let's go.
758
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:42,160
OK, Kumar, now, hurry up, OK?
759
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:43,280
Get it...get it done!
760
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:45,520
Go, go, go, go, we don't have time.
761
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:48,520
With morning traffic
almost on top of them...
762
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:51,240
Let's go, let's go, guys.
763
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:54,920
..the crew
can't let time run out again.
764
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:57,040
They're not going
to let us stay there for long.
765
00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:59,240
We had no choice but to get it out.
766
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:02,280
Just give a little pull.
We got no time, OK?
767
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:05,080
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
768
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:11,880
Let me know
until it's going to hit in,
769
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:13,440
like, three inches, OK?
770
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:17,480
Hold up, hold up.
771
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:20,240
They've made it upright
to the edge of the road,
772
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:22,320
but there's no more room.
773
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:23,960
Alright, I think
we have to move the truck.
774
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:26,960
We got it close as possible.
We just need a little bit of room.
775
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:28,840
Gotta watch out
the traffic, guys.
776
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:32,320
For the final pull,
Sonny will have to set up
777
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:35,080
right on the edge
of the traffic line,
778
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:37,240
with no buffer at all.
779
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:39,720
You gotta come right here, eh?
780
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:41,520
Your ass end has gotta come
right here.
781
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:43,920
Very close to the lane.
782
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:47,160
It's very dangerous,
because, like, people cannot see.
783
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:49,040
Like, they don't know
if it's in the lane
784
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:50,480
or it's in the shoulder.
785
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:53,240
They can come and hit
the truck right in the back.
786
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:57,760
Look at these guys.
787
00:39:57,800 --> 00:39:58,880
Flying, eh?
788
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:03,360
Hopefully nobody's gonna run
into us.
789
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:08,240
The traffic in the live lane,
790
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:10,680
it's not slowing down
or moving over.
791
00:40:10,720 --> 00:40:12,160
They're going full speed.
792
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:13,360
They're flying by.
793
00:40:18,240 --> 00:40:19,240
We're already tired.
794
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:22,160
We're close to the live lane,
and it's pretty dangerous.
795
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:23,360
It makes it worse.
796
00:40:28,240 --> 00:40:29,840
Hold on, guys, very slowly, OK?
797
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:32,040
Very, very slowly, inch by inch, OK?
798
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:40,480
Keep pulling, keep pulling.
799
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:44,520
OK, pull the brake!
800
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:51,400
Good job, guys. Oh, my Lord!
801
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:52,760
We got the job done.
802
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:55,600
The customer is going to be happy,
and Thusi is happy,
803
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:57,200
and everybody happy.
804
00:40:57,240 --> 00:40:58,600
Ice, man.
805
00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:01,040
..and they can see
how much resistance
806
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:02,360
they had to overcome.
807
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:05,840
Holy crap.
808
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:14,880
Whoo!
809
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:16,320
(LAUGHTER)
810
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:20,160
Finally, huh?
811
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:21,440
(LAUGHTER)
812
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:22,920
That's a good one,
that's a good one.
813
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:25,120
We got it, yeah?
814
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:30,680
Now, just one more move,
815
00:41:30,720 --> 00:41:33,440
and the recovery
will finally be a win.
816
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:37,520
OK, go right now!
817
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:40,160
Let's go! Go, go, go! Hurry up!
818
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:46,560
OK, got it, got it!
Go, go, go!
819
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:47,640
Hard, hard, hard!
820
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:50,560
We fought with this truck
for so long, from day to night.
821
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:53,160
I was so happy to see
this truck drive away.
822
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:57,600
It's a good sign
for the future of the company...
823
00:41:57,640 --> 00:41:59,320
Go, go, go. Yeah!
824
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:01,040
That's it! That's it!
825
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:05,880
..and Sonny
has some happy news of his own.
826
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:08,440
We did the ultrasound.
827
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:09,800
Baby boy.
828
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:11,400
Yeah.
829
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:14,840
Yeah, I got two more hands coming
for me to pull the winch.
830
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:16,360
(LAUGHS)
831
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:18,840
It took
three and a half hours to do it.
832
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:20,160
That's it, we got it.
833
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:22,400
Driver...
834
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:25,840
Driver going to drive the truck
to Toronto,
835
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:30,480
and then we gonna get back
and have a breakfast.
836
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:33,720
Yeah, let's get out of here, guys!
837
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:39,880
Feels good.
