DAVE PETTITT (NARRATES): This time
on Heavy Rescue: 401...
2
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:07,120
This is gonna be a mess.
3
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:08,640
..an ugly offload...
4
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:10,120
Driving me nuts, man.
5
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:11,880
..shreds Mitch's nerves.
6
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:13,680
(GROANS) My god!
7
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:15,680
It's very dangerous.
8
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:17,400
Sonny...
9
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:18,840
cuts it close.
10
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:19,920
Are we good to go?
11
00:00:21,080 --> 00:00:22,760
..and a load of whisky...
12
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:24,240
Looks like it went
for a bit of a ride.
13
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:26,520
..brings a brutal hangover.
14
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:27,840
Oh, that doesn't look like fun.
15
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:48,560
On the 401 through Toronto,
dawn is still hours away,
16
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:52,120
but commuters are already starting
their push into the city.
17
00:00:53,480 --> 00:00:56,120
FEMALE REPORTER: Traffic is actually
looking pretty good on the 401,
18
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:57,760
but the temperature is dropping,
19
00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:59,640
which means once it gets
below freezing,
20
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,120
keep an eye out for some black ice,
and just reduce your speed.
21
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,520
It will be an ugly drive.
22
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,360
Sergeant Kerry Schmidt needs
to be ready,
23
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,440
because some drivers won't be.
24
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,080
We get that first bit
of ice on the roads,
25
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,160
drivers don't anticipate
that's going to affect
26
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:32,960
their stopping distance
or their handling,
27
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,440
but only when they step
on the brakes do they realise
28
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,360
that they're on a sheet of ice,
and all of a sudden,
29
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,520
now they're either
into a vehicle in front of them,
30
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,120
or into the concrete guardrail
or the ditch beside them.
31
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:51,240
Just after 5am,
the ice is taking its toll...
32
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,200
..and on the 401 east of Oshawa...
33
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,480
..emergency crews
are on the way immediately...
34
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,200
..but the ice isn't finished.
35
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:34,960
That's the dangerous thing
with black ice.
36
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,120
You never know when you could hit
a patch and lose control.
37
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,840
B&G's Bill Wright Junior
is heading to join his father
38
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,480
at another call just down
the icy stretch of highway.
39
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:54,400
The roads are complete ice.
40
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,280
There's cars sliding
all over the place.
41
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,200
Bill can't pass up the chance
to stop and help...
42
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:06,560
It's jackknifed pretty hard.
43
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,320
It's sunk in the mud
a little bit here,
44
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,200
but he's not too heavy,
so it shouldn't be terrible,
45
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:12,600
I'm hoping.
46
00:03:12,640 --> 00:03:14,600
..but Bill's spent
most of his career
47
00:03:14,640 --> 00:03:16,520
doing long-haul towing...
48
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,640
I don't have a ton
of experience doing recoveries,
49
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,720
So, I'm going to have to do
this one on my own.
50
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:26,560
..and this jackknife is right
on the edge of the slippery road.
51
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:35,960
We gotta be, uh, super careful here.
52
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:37,120
Keep your head on a swivel.
53
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:41,600
(THEME MUSIC)
54
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:45,600
On North America's
busiest highway, closure...
55
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:48,480
is not an option.
56
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,440
I have to winch
this tractor around straight
57
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:04,640
and get him up on the road.
58
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:09,920
It's super icy out.
59
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:12,560
People are looking at the scene
60
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,320
and not paying attention
to what they're doing,
61
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,400
So, one little mistake
can be big trouble.
62
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,120
It should come over easy
if it's empty.
63
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:33,920
Bill gets
the semi straightened out...
64
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:36,360
OK, so that's far enough around now
65
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,320
I can get a front tow hook on it,
66
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,520
and, uh, pull 'er the rest
of the way around from the front.
67
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:45,800
..and as he prepares
for phase two...
68
00:04:45,840 --> 00:04:47,800
Phew! What's up, dude?
69
00:04:47,840 --> 00:04:51,720
..he'll have some help,
his little brother, Mitch.
70
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,320
In front of you is, like,
really slippery.
71
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:55,680
On the road, you mean?
Yeah, I know.
72
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,040
Yeah, just, like,
sliding on my feet.
73
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:00,000
Yeah, the roads are slick.
74
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:01,560
You could pretty much
put hockey skates on
75
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:02,760
and skate around right now.
76
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,320
Billy doesn't have a ton of time
77
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,520
on his own doing
big recoveries like this,
78
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,160
so it is cool to see him out there
on his own trying to get it done.
79
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:13,800
Yeah, you just want
to sit in it and steer?
80
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:16,920
If I could give him a
hand, give him some, you know,
81
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,120
emotional support just as much as,
you know, physical support,
82
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,080
we can get this thing out of here.
83
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:23,200
Good?
84
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:32,720
OK, hold on.
85
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,080
Hey, Mitch,
I'm just gonna pull ahead,
86
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:38,800
and we'll pull it a bit further.
87
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,600
Bill just needs
to make one final pull...
88
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,120
Whoa!
89
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:48,480
..but the ice is building up,
along with morning traffic.
90
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:49,560
Whoa...
91
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,080
There's still
a couple of lanes open.
92
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,200
You know, you got high speeds,
you got slippery roads,
93
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:54,520
and Billy's kind of standing there.
94
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,400
This is probably, like,
the most dangerous time
95
00:05:58,440 --> 00:05:59,880
to be operating a heavy tow truck.
96
00:06:01,280 --> 00:06:02,360
Go!
97
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:14,920
That'll be it.
That'll be good enough.
98
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:17,200
Alright, Billy can get hooked up
99
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:18,760
and get this thing taken out
of here now.
100
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,200
You're good.
101
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,160
It kind of went
as good as it can go.
102
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,000
It was a big confidence booster.
103
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,720
It was a good chance for me
to show my skills as an operator.
104
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,000
I think Billy did an awesome job.
105
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:35,200
He got the thing out of there
106
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:36,720
just as fast as anybody else
would have.
107
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:39,760
While Bill heads to the shop...
108
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:42,640
OK, buddy.
Later, man.
109
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,360
..Mitch is heading
to a much bigger job.
110
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:01,640
Just one mile to the east,
the ice has claimed another semi...
111
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:09,120
..and Bill Senior
is assessing a tough recovery.
112
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,880
No serious injuries,
everybody's OK, but a lot of damage.
113
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,480
An eastbound car spun out
as the fully loaded semi
114
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,320
was heading up the on-ramp,
115
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,880
forcing the truck to swerve,
crashing off the ramp.
116
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:31,760
The bottom of the trailer,
117
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,880
the wall and the upper roof rail
are both broken,
118
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,040
So, the integrity of the trailer
is not there to allow us
119
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,040
to upright it with the load in it.
120
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:43,320
The crew will have
to offload 50,000 pounds
121
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,080
of baled shredded paper.
122
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:48,880
Oh, yeah, it's right on its side.
123
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,280
The truck's mangled.
Alright, let's do it.
124
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,360
As the new arrival gets
his first look,
125
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,320
his father is forming a plan.
126
00:07:58,360 --> 00:07:59,920
We're gonna cut
the roof out of the trailer.
127
00:07:59,960 --> 00:08:02,960
We've got the fear of fire
with the small pieces of paper.
128
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:04,960
Matt, do you wanna bring
the bucket around
129
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:06,160
So, I can stand in the bucket?
130
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:10,240
The crew needs access to unload,
but they can't risk sparks
131
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:11,880
from a saw near the paper,
132
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,600
so Bill's called
for a specialised tool...
133
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:17,520
the nibbler.
134
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:21,680
It's like using a can opener,
but it takes a really long time,
135
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:23,440
but that's the only way
we can do it right now.
136
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,640
You're good now.
I can feel the wall coming out.
137
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,680
Once the wall's down,
we can start grabbing these bales,
138
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:39,280
and getting them offloaded.
139
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,240
..but getting at the load...
140
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,000
This is gonna be a mess, eh?
141
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:49,080
Like...
142
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,320
..was just the first challenge.
143
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,320
The problem now is how do you handle
144
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,240
50,000 pounds of confetti?
145
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:56,640
How do you unload this?
146
00:08:59,680 --> 00:09:01,600
We're just gonna see
how well it stays together
147
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:02,760
if you lay it down.
148
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:08,200
Come ahead a bit.
149
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,120
No, you're in. That's it.
150
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:13,240
Try it?
151
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:18,800
No.
152
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,320
Everything you touch,
it just, like, falls apart.
153
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,000
Can he get under it with the bucket?
154
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:25,560
Just, like, by the bucket load?
155
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:28,720
OK, clamp!
156
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,280
..but even
when they do get a grip...
157
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:35,480
Oh, back up.
158
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:38,960
Hey, man, pick your bucket up.
159
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,320
He can't even get out now.
160
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:43,800
It's wedged in there, eh?
161
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:47,760
We can't back up
with the weight on the forks
162
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:49,320
because it's such a steep incline.
163
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:55,400
Tilt?
164
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:56,840
Oh, my good god.
165
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:57,920
Come on, man.
166
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:01,120
It's just falling apart.
167
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,080
We gotta get it
from the trailer to the bins.
168
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,160
Sounds easy, it's paper,
but it's billions, and billions,
169
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,120
and billions of little loose pieces
of paper.
170
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,960
Plan B, we have to bring
in some type of equipment
171
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,680
that can reach into the trailer
and put it individually
172
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,440
into several containers
for the roll-off truck.
173
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:23,640
Go in, drive in.
174
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,720
The telehandler has the ability
to zoom out with its forks,
175
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:28,880
So, it has reach.
176
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,520
Boom out.
177
00:10:36,560 --> 00:10:38,880
The telehandler has the reach...
178
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:40,000
Whoa!
179
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:42,920
Pick it up. Gently.
180
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:44,040
Real gentle.
181
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,640
..but that only solves
half the problem.
182
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:51,160
So, set it on the ground now.
183
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:54,240
Don't break it.
184
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,200
This is probably gonna be
one of the worst offloads
185
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:02,680
we've ever done.
186
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:03,960
This is gonna be a nightmare.
187
00:11:06,680 --> 00:11:08,120
Where's the bobcat? Ryan!
188
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:12,320
So, set it on the ground...
189
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,960
In a ditch off
the 401 in Clarington...
190
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:17,880
This is gonna be a nightmare.
191
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:23,160
..the B&G crew is fighting
50,000 pounds of confetti.
192
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:26,800
Tilt back.
193
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:27,880
It's just bad.
194
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,000
The bundles are all broken,
the straps are broken,
195
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:31,480
it's down in the ditch.
196
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,560
It's got every wrong thing
going for it.
197
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,200
As far as offloads go,
198
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,000
I've never worked
with anything that's,
199
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:39,720
you know, this fragile.
200
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,280
The second that you touch it,
it just disintegrates.
201
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:43,400
(GRUNTS)
202
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:45,920
I give up.
203
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,640
All we have to do
is touch it, and it's falling apart.
204
00:11:48,680 --> 00:11:51,760
If the wind blows to the north here
and takes this loose paper
205
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:53,600
across the highway,
it creates a visual issue,
206
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,160
and we have secondary accidents.
207
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:56,680
We gotta come up
with something different,
208
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:58,800
or we're gonna be here all day.
209
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:00,120
We're gonna try and stab one.
210
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,160
Two forks close together.
211
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,360
I want you to stab the middle
of that bundle,
212
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,240
down to about three quarters,
and pick it up.
213
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:18,520
Just go boom up.
214
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:25,560
Keep booming it in.
215
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:28,280
Straighten your wheels out
and back up.
216
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:32,720
I think that worked a little better.
217
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:34,360
Yeah.
Yeah.
218
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:35,800
One bale down,
219
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:41,760
but more than 20 still to go,
over 40,000 pounds.
220
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:43,240
It's getting to be a very long day
221
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:44,560
with this slow process of getting
222
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,200
the telehandler
in and out of the trailer.
223
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:49,800
This is taking way too long.
224
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,480
I'm gonna jump in the telehandler
and, uh, and give this a shot.
225
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,000
Good.
Oop, don't get into the next one.
226
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:04,760
Just tired of this paper, man.
227
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:06,480
I want to just roll this thing
over already.
228
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:12,440
Careful.
229
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,520
Just as Mitch gains momentum...
230
00:13:19,560 --> 00:13:21,080
Aah...
231
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:22,520
Tilt down.
232
00:13:22,560 --> 00:13:23,600
That's not gonna work.
233
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,720
Driving me nuts, man.
234
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:28,680
As I move down this trailer,
235
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,200
bundle by bundle,
towards the front of it,
236
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:31,920
there's actually
less, and less, and less room
237
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:33,200
to pull these bundles out.
238
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:37,160
The trailer's position
is causing the wall to sag...
239
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,080
Aw, no, that's not good.
240
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,760
..and Mitch is all out of room.
241
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:45,680
The wall
of the trailer's sagging further.
242
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:47,600
The weather's changing.
It's getting a little colder.
243
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:49,600
There's a bit of snow in the air.
244
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,320
This is far messier
than we anticipated
245
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:52,400
when we showed up.
246
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:55,680
(GROANS) My god!
247
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:07,880
Just 12 miles Northwest...
248
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:10,840
I'm just coming
across the 407 right now.
249
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:12,280
I'll be there soon.
250
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,720
..and the aftermath of a tragedy.
251
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,040
I'm just heading
to the scene of a fatality
252
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,440
where a tow truck driver was killed
253
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,680
while he was out assisting
another disabled motorist.
254
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:39,240
I don't know
what the details are right now.
255
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:45,640
The last thing I want to hear
256
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:47,480
is that there's been
another collision involving
257
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:48,720
a tow truck operator,
258
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,720
and certainly we don't want
to see someone getting killed,
259
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:55,920
and yet we see it happening
all too often.
260
00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:58,600
Here we are.
261
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:00,560
We're just coming
to the scene here right now.
262
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:03,520
So, there's the tow truck.
263
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:17,840
What time did this crash happen?
264
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:19,160
Around 8:30.
265
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,720
The witnesses said watch out,
they dove into the ditch.
266
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,720
The silver car came through
and hit the tow truck driver.
267
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:25,760
Wow.
268
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:27,360
It was a sheet of ice.
269
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,760
The red car's in the ditch,
and the tow truck gets on scene.
270
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:33,400
He's pulling out the red car,
and while he's standing there,
271
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,000
the silver car comes in.
272
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,440
This is just
one of those sad reminders,
273
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,960
when you see stopped
emergency vehicles,
274
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:52,640
tow trucks
with their amber lights flashing,
275
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,000
you need to slow down
and move into an adjacent lane.
276
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:02,040
Sadly, it was a 56-year-old man
here, a local tow operator,
277
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:03,400
that paid with his life,
278
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,120
and the sad thing is now
that some family
279
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:09,600
is going to be planning a funeral
instead of planning their holidays.
280
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:12,720
It's just an absolutely
devastating situation.
281
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:29,040
Mitch?
282
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:30,880
I'm gonna go lift
your wall up for you.
283
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:32,600
Back down on the 401...
284
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:35,600
We're gonna lift the roof up,
285
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:37,800
the wall up,
to give Mitch some space.
286
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,440
..Bill is giving Mitch
some extra clearance to finish
287
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:43,960
the marathon offload.
288
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:47,800
Grab it in the middle with one.
289
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:58,160
Well, it certainly gave us
more room.
290
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,720
We'll just have to see
how it works out for Mitch there.
291
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:08,160
What I'm talkin' about!
292
00:17:10,120 --> 00:17:12,640
Does that help ya?
Oh, 100%.
293
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:14,520
While Mitch is finishing up,
we'll get rigged up,
294
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,160
So, right when they're finished,
we can get the upright done.
295
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:18,400
We're not wasting any time.
296
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:22,840
Are you OK
with that heavier chain there?
297
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:23,960
That's fine.
298
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:27,960
We're rigging right to the rim.
299
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:32,400
Alright, one more bale.
300
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:34,760
Awesome.
301
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:37,880
Get this show on the road!
302
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:41,520
(GRUNTS)
303
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:47,080
They'll redirect two low lines
from Mitch's rotator,
304
00:17:47,120 --> 00:17:50,520
and one from the 35-ton
to the tractor,
305
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,160
pulling down to bring the semi up.
306
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:58,200
I guess she's ready.
307
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:03,160
The question now,
will the trailer survive the roll?
308
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,000
There is still some product
on that bottom wall,
309
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:06,080
and there's no roof,
310
00:18:06,120 --> 00:18:07,320
So, there's-there's
not a lot of structure
311
00:18:07,360 --> 00:18:08,360
to this trailer anymore.
312
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:09,840
We gotta get the
back door closed to help
313
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:11,800
the back of the trailer stay square.
314
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:13,360
Once you cut the roof out
of a trailer,
315
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,160
that has a big part
of the structure of that trailer,
316
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:17,680
so now, when you go to roll it over,
317
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:19,080
you're missing a ton
of that structure
318
00:18:19,120 --> 00:18:20,160
to keep it together.
319
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:22,440
In?
Got 'er!
320
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:25,880
Just hoping
those walls stay together.
321
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:27,320
Yeah, just watch the bottom.
322
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,040
Ready to go?
I'm ready to go, buddy!
323
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:36,520
OK.
324
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:37,600
Good?
325
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,920
Good here, OK.
OK, give 'er a go.
326
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:42,520
OK, start pulling
yours in a little bit.
327
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,800
The trailer not having
its entire integrity,
328
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:50,960
it's very important to lead
with the tractor,
329
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,480
get the tractor coming first,
use the tractor
330
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:57,000
sort of as a spring-loaded mechanism
to help bring the trailer.
331
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:01,560
You working both a little bit?
332
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:02,840
Tiny bit, yup.
333
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:10,120
It might pull ya a bit sideways.
334
00:19:13,360 --> 00:19:16,120
(TENSE MUSIC)
335
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:21,840
You working both a little bit?
336
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:22,920
Tiny bit, yup.
337
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,080
East of Oshawa on the 401...
338
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:29,040
Bring your drives.
Come with him.
339
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:34,480
..the B&G crew is working
to bring up what's left of the semi
340
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:36,200
without ripping it apart.
341
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:38,360
As we upright the truck,
342
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,920
does the low side wall stay
in the trailer,
343
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,440
or does it actually collapse
and come out?
344
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:44,720
The wall, is it coming up?
345
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:47,480
It's off the ground,
but it is sagging.
346
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:53,360
There she comes.
347
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:56,560
Bring 'er, Jimmy, load 'er up!
348
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:08,760
Here she comes, baby.
349
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:16,400
That's good. Awesome.

00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,040
Perfect. Perfect.
351
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:20,600
Perfect, buddy.
352
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,120
See if you can pull the nose around
with what you got right there.
353
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:25,560
For the final leg,
354
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:27,840
Mitch will steer
the wreck to the road.
355
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:32,520
You ready, Mitch?
Yes!
356
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:38,520
It's coming.
357
00:20:42,360 --> 00:20:43,880
After a complete day
358
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:45,800
of basically fighting
with this thing,
359
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,240
to see it up on its wheels
and on the road,
360
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,040
it's like a million pounds
coming off your back.
361
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:51,320
It's a super good feeling.
362
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:54,200
You got 'er, good job.
363
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:57,040
At the end of the day,
this is one of the toughest recovery
364
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,080
of a product
that I've done in my career.
365
00:20:59,120 --> 00:21:01,080
Slow, you know, gruelling.
366
00:21:01,120 --> 00:21:03,880
There was all kinds of
real major complications for such a,
367
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,720
you know, an easy load
that had very little value.
368
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,160
It's all good, guys, good job.
369
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:09,640
Thanks for your help,
much appreciated.
370
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:10,720
Alright.
371
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:12,000
Alright, good job, Brian, thanks.
372
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,320
I mean, all in all, it's a good day
when everybody goes home
373
00:21:15,360 --> 00:21:16,480
to their family, right?
374
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,080
As morning breaks in Toronto...
375
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:36,320
..a mix of rain
and sleet smashes down on the roads.
376
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,080
I'm gonna go for a cruise.
377
00:21:41,120 --> 00:21:43,160
I'm going to go up
and down on the highway.
378
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:47,240
On the westbound 401,
Sonny Subra is on the move.
379
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,440
First available heavy tow,
OPP calling.
380
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:57,720
He's still working to establish
Prompt Towing's new heavy division,
381
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:01,600
which means keeping his ears open
for every police call.
382
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,120
We are new here,
so everything's pretty much new,
383
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,040
So, we gotta come from the bottom,
384
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,440
but we are building our company,
right?
385
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,680
So, like, there's a lot
of competition out there,
386
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,680
so we need to get a call,
and we need the customer.
387
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:14,920
We gotta get there first.
388
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,400
Sonny took a big chance
leaving Steve's Towing.
389
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:33,680
Now, with a baby on the way,
390
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:37,560
success and security
are more important than ever...
391
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:39,000
That's my responsibility.
392
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:44,520
I have to do whatever I have to do,
and then make sure I feed my family.
393
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:53,640
That was a first available heavy tow
they ask for.
394
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,360
Steve is going, Steve is going.
395
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:58,680
(BLEEP)
396
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,760
..but the last thing
Sonny wants is a race.
397
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,240
I have to be more careful.
398
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:06,840
Somebody depend on me.
399
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,720
If I am not there,
they're gonna struggle.
400
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:11,280
I don't wanna drive crazy.
401
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,040
You never know on this highway,
what's gonna happen.
402
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,920
So, Sonny leaves the first call
to the competition,
403
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:24,240
but as he heads onto Highway 400,
he spots another crash scene.
404
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:25,880
Is that OPP on scene there?
405
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,240
Merging onto the 400,
406
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,680
this car appeared and spun itself
around right in front of me.
407
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:49,320
Looks like this truck is OK,
but I'm gonna go talk to them.
408
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,960
The truck only suffered
a bent bumper,
409
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,040
but it's rubbing the tire.
410
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,000
This bumper is pushed in right now.
411
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:12,880
So, I'm just gonna pull the bumper,
and then he can go on his way.
412
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:18,720
Lucky he has no big damage,
but still he needs my help.
413
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,720
I'm gonna help him out.
414
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:25,000
Even though it's too small
to be a paying job,
415
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:28,240
Sonny won't leave the driver stuck.
416
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:29,880
Can you hold this like this?
417
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:31,000
Yeah, yeah.
418
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:32,440
Make sure it's not going down.
419
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:33,640
I'm going to suck it in, OK?
420
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:39,320
He doesn't need a tow,
he just need a hand.
421
00:24:39,360 --> 00:24:44,000
It's a good deed, but for Sonny,
also an investment.
422
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,040
It's coming out? Pull?
423
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,000
I'm so happy to help the guy.
424
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:50,080
He's gonna be my customer
in the future.
425
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:52,760
Watch out!
426
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:02,560
I'll give you my business card.
427
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,080
In the future, you can call me,
you know what I mean?
428
00:25:05,120 --> 00:25:06,760
I'm adding one customer.
429
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:08,600
Exactly.
430
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:10,760
Whenever I help people,
they come to know,
431
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,040
"Oh, Sonny
from Prompt Towing helped me out."
432
00:25:14,120 --> 00:25:15,800
Karma, it will come back to you.
433
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:38,640
120 miles southwest
at the Ross Services yard...
434
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:42,240
Westbound, westbound
straight, the mill road.
435
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,360
..Mike Ross is rolling out.
436
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,880
We're headed out the 401,
west of London.
437
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:54,400
There's a tractor-trailer
rolled over.
438
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:56,440
It's supposed to be sideways
across the highway.
439
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:01,520
The OPP and Fire Department
are already on scene
440
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:05,200
as traffic fights to squeeze past.
441
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:08,120
Driver says he was affected
by a gust of wind that forced him
442
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,480
onto the shoulder of the roadway,
and caused the tractor-trailer
443
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,160
to roll on the right side,
slide for about 150 metres
444
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:14,840
before coming to a rest
where you see it now.
445
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,240
The backup is growing by the minute.
446
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:27,680
I'm gonna take the shoulder
447
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:29,640
and work our way down
towards the scene.
448
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:32,920
The best scenario for Mike,
449
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,360
a quick upright
to get traffic moving.
450
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:40,360
We'll have a good look at it.
451
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:49,680
Yeah, that doesn't look good, eh?
452
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:51,400
Oh, the trailer's hurt pretty bad.
453
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:55,480
Like, this is part of the structure
of the trailer here,
454
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,360
and the roof's pushed out of it.
455
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,360
Top rail must be separated
at the wall.
456
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:02,520
Not a good sign.
457
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:07,280
Inside, 500 cases of whisky,
458
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,920
totalling 30,000 pounds.
459
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:14,560
Cardboard boxes, right to the roof.
460
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:18,960
The structural integrity
of the trailer is just gone.
461
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:23,200
If you put that trailer up loaded,
it would break right in half.
462
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:25,280
Mike can already see,
463
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:29,000
this recovery
will be anything but quick.
464
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:32,320
So, yeah, we definitely
got to unload that.
465
00:27:32,360 --> 00:27:33,440
It's gonna be A...
466
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:35,840
long one, yeah.
467
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:44,640
On the westbound 401,
468
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:48,400
traffic is barely crawling up
the shoulder...
469
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,840
So, I'm gonna start cutting
the roof out of it.
470
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,120
..and Mike Ross
is getting to work.
471
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:56,560
We'll come in here with a forklift.
472
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:58,080
The forklift can get right in here.
473
00:27:59,120 --> 00:28:03,000
The semi isn't going anywhere
until his crew can remove
474
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,080
the whisky inside,
475
00:28:05,120 --> 00:28:08,160
but he can't risk offloading
through the trailer doors,
476
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,840
which are helping maintain
the structure.
477
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,080
Keeps a lot of support
to the trailer.
478
00:28:13,120 --> 00:28:17,080
Once you open that door,
it'll lose its square,
479
00:28:17,120 --> 00:28:18,960
and you'll never get it
closed again.
480
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:29,800
A little after 5pm,
Mike's first backup arrives,
481
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:33,600
his father, David,
just ahead of the remaining crew.
482
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:43,800
You got the forklift
and the skids, and...
483
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,080
We got half
a dozen people coming out.
484
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:50,880
A few minutes later,
recent hire Austin Hutchinson
485
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,560
gets his first look
at the job ahead.
486
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:55,360
Ah, it looks like
he went for a bit of a ride.
487
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:56,480
That's the rub rail.
488
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:01,840
Ah, this looks like a nice one.
489
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:02,920
Doesn't that look like fun?
490
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:04,720
Yeah, this is gonna be a good one.
491
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:06,320
At least it's not broke.
492
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:07,800
We're not standing
in a puddle of it yet.
493
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,360
I don't see any leaking,
really, to speak of.
494
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,160
What do you want to do,
go section by section?
495
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:14,560
Try to take what you can?
496
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:16,200
Well,
a forklift can only get to here,
497
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:19,040
so we'll try to bring everything
outta this hole, I guess.
498
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:20,720
It's front to back,
floor to ceiling,
499
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,080
and we've got to get this done
as fast as we can.
500
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:28,040
..but even then,
it will take hours of work
501
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,960
before they can even start
to clear this highway.
502
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:47,920
120 miles down the 401...
503
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:53,880
..nightfall brings a blast
of winter to Toronto...
504
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,640
and northeast of the city,
up Highway 23,
505
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,840
a cube van has rolled right off
the road.
506
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,240
This is a very dangerous
situation right now.
507
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:10,880
A long day of chasing
has finally paid off for Sonny,
508
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:14,000
if he can ever get started
on this job.
509
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:15,520
We're gonna put a two winch,
510
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:17,600
and then trying to drag it
this way...
511
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:21,840
but I don't want to do it
without some traffic blocked.
512
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,680
It's a bad spot,
because it's a downhill,
513
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:26,880
So, nobody can see us, right?
514
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:29,760
It's snow and icy, and, like,
we don't want to get hit.
515
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:31,760
End of the day, we gotta go home,
you know what I mean?
516
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:38,120
The tragic loss of an operator
on Highway 12 is still very fresh.
517
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:39,520
Somebody died, so...
518
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:40,920
I hope the police come here
519
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:42,800
and then give me
a traffic control here.
520
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:46,040
It's a quick pull,
but Sonny doesn't want to risk it
521
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,040
until traffic is blocked.
522
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,320
I really think about my safety,
523
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,000
because I got a baby coming.
524
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:55,160
I have to make sure
it's nothing gonna happen to me.
525
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,640
With crashes all over the region,
526
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,000
he'll have to wait
for Durham police,
527
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:03,480
while drivers could give
in to distraction.
528
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:05,960
The cop gonna take so long.
529
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,760
There's just a two lane,
one lane to go, one lane to come,
530
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:10,080
So, it's very dangerous.
531
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:13,480
If somebody looking, and like,
swerve into the other lane,
532
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:14,920
that's a disaster.
533
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:18,800
I called Durham Regional Police,
but they said they will attend,
534
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:20,480
but they're all busy.
535
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:22,960
So, Sonny makes a hard call.
536
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,080
I was waiting,
waiting, waiting, waiting.
537
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:28,280
I'm not getting nobody,
so I need to clear this accident
538
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:29,480
as soon as possible.
539
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,960
I'm gonna back up,
pull it right away,
540
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:35,200
and we're gonna get out of here.
541
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:42,720
(GRUNTS)
542
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:47,920
Half of my mind goes to the work,
543
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:49,800
and half is going
to be on the traffic.
544
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:54,200
Just as that traffic
is getting even worse...
545
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:57,480
How are you doing? Need a hand?
546
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:00,960
It's pretty bad out here
on the roads tonight.
547
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:03,400
I should be OK, but...
548
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:04,480
Need it blocked?
549
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:05,920
Yeah, yeah, the traffic, man.
550
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:08,160
Want me to sit back here?
551
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:10,800
Yeah, sit back there,
and then just slow the traffic down.
552
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:11,920
OK.
553
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,640
Everybody's busy,
but in his busy time,
554
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,480
he stops and helps me,
that's great stuff.
555
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:22,280
Classic Towing one-ton op
556
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,160
Dan Inwood takes
over traffic control.
557
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:26,480
Slow down!
558
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:37,720
Watch your back, Sonny.
559
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:38,880
(GRUNTS)
560
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:48,320
I'm just trying to look out
for Sonny and watch his back.
561
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:49,880
We got to look out
for each other out here.
562
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:54,640
It's very, very dangerous.
563
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,080
Slow down, slow down.
564
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:04,160
I am scared, very scared
if somebody gonna hit me.
565
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:05,440
Watch your back.
566
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:11,560
It's very, very dangerous.
567
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,840
On an icy patch of Highway 23...
568
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:16,840
Slow down, slow down!
569
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,560
..Sonny's competitor
has come to his rescue.
570
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:26,600
As soon as I rigged up,
Dan was blocking traffic,
571
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:28,560
So, we can get it done fast
as we can.
572
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:32,160
After the recent tragedy,
Dan needed to help.
573
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:35,280
That was one of my friends
that was killed.
574
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:37,360
He was a good guy.
575
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:38,880
Once again,
people not paying attention
576
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:40,160
and slowing down.
577
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:41,280
Just crazy.
578
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:46,440
On a road this bad,
there's no room for rivalry.
579
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:47,520
OK.
580
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:48,720
Are we good to go?
581
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:51,280
Yeah, man, you're good here!
582
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:57,840
Really a good brotherhood
in the tow truck industry.
583
00:33:57,880 --> 00:33:59,440
It's not very easy to see out here.
584
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:03,280
Wherever you go,
585
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:06,080
they see other tow truck drivers,
they respect.
586
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:08,080
They really respect,
because they know
587
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:09,640
how hard work they are doing.
588
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:17,200
Thank you.
589
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:22,440
It's going more into the ditch.
590
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:24,200
Yeah.
Do you want me to turn the wheel?
591
00:34:24,240 --> 00:34:25,680
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I'll get it.
592
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:30,480
Yeah, turn it all the way.
593
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:33,400
OK?
Good.
594
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:44,040
Gonna unhook, spin around?
595
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:45,120
OK.
596
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:46,520
We're gonna spin around this thing,
597
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:47,720
then hook it up and go.
598
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:55,640
Watch your back, Sonny.
Yeah, yeah.
599
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:00,880
As Sonny makes
his final adjustments...
600
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:06,280
the towing brotherhood
has come through.
601
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:10,640
I'm blessed that night,
because Dan showed up from nowhere.
602
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:12,840
There you go, bro.
603
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:14,440
All good?
Thank you so much.
604
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:16,280
No problem, be safe.
I'll see you around.
605
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:17,720
Thank you.
Yeah, man.
606
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:19,200
Ah, we all try
to help each other out,
607
00:35:19,240 --> 00:35:20,280
for the most part.
608
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:21,880
We gotta look out
for each other out here.
609
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:23,200
It's pretty deadly.
610
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:28,120
I'm safe today
611
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:31,200
because Dan gave me
a hand blocking the traffic.
612
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:49,240
Back on the westbound
401 in London...
613
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:51,520
Oh, that doesn't look like fun.
614
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:53,040
This thing's
in the middle of the road.
615
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:54,280
We need it out of there.
616
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:58,960
It's been almost six hours
since a load of whisky slammed down
617
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:00,280
across the highway...
618
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:02,480
Oh, he's revvin' 'er up, Mike.
619
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:03,600
Here he comes.
620
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:07,360
..and for the last two hours,
the Ross crew has been removing it
621
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:08,480
by hand.
622
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:14,440
Now, the crew needs
to make some final adjustments,
623
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:16,080
and they'll be ready to upright.
624
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:21,280
We got 'er.
625
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:25,480
The roof's pushed out of it,
so when we stand it up,
626
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:27,520
it's gonna be too tall
to go down the road,
627
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:29,520
So, we're trying
to flatten it out a bit.
628
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:31,840
She's a couple feet higher
than it's supposed to be.
629
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:36,600
OK, I think
that's as good as it gets.
630
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:43,280
And the roof isn't the only part
of the trailer that's compromised.
631
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:44,360
We're going to, uh,
632
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:46,200
put a couple
of these logistic straps in here
633
00:36:46,240 --> 00:36:48,120
to try and keep this wall
634
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:50,240
to come up with it
when we pull the trailer over.
635
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:51,960
It's split from the floor
of the trailer.
636
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:55,560
Just as a little bit
of added insurance here.
637
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:01,080
I worked alongside some guys
that have been in the business
638
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:02,320
for well over 50 years.
639
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:04,760
They've got a lot of experience,
and the tricks that they learned
640
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:06,920
along the way
got relayed down to me.
641
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:10,640
Yeah, she's in there. We got 'er.
642
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:14,320
Tonight, Austin will have
to match his rotator skills
643
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:16,440
with senior op Mike...
644
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:19,040
I think that'll do.
She's gonna sit there, anyway.
645
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:22,560
..their first
big double rotator job together.
646
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:24,480
Michael makes everything look easy.
647
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:27,120
I mean, when you do
that much recovery, you...
648
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:28,520
you get used to it.
649
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:30,200
We'll just hook on that chain there.
650
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:36,240
Mike, rigged to the tractor,
and Austin to the trailer,
651
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:39,160
will pull down in one fluid motion
652
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:43,280
to keep the trailer intact
as it rolls onto its wheels.
653
00:37:45,720 --> 00:37:48,120
You gotta keep 'em
in sync just to kind of make
654
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:50,600
an even pull
so we don't twist the trailer.
655
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:54,440
Twisting it would be bad,
because it could tear apart then.
656
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:55,560
Let's go.
657
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:02,960
Success depends
on a smooth roll upright.
658
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:04,560
Don't get ahead of him, OK?
659
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:11,320
OK, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
660
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:15,960
I started to pull a little bit more,
661
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,000
and Mike was essentially trying
to catch up.
662
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:19,520
Put 'er up.
663
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:21,480
Austin was a little too far along.
664
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:26,720
The trailer is so damaged,
they can't risk another trial run.
665
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:28,560
I don't know
if it's gonna stay together.
666
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:32,840
OK, she's goin' up.
667
00:38:57,120 --> 00:38:58,160
Did it stay on?
668
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:00,720
Yeah, yeah, yeah, perfect.
669
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:03,480
It's just fine.
670
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:05,680
Crash and bang.
671
00:39:05,720 --> 00:39:07,040
It's what they do
when they're empty.
672
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:09,720
It's upright.
673
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:11,880
They'll just have to, uh,
hook onto it and pull it outta here.
674
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:14,240
I'm gonna get a hold of the Ministry
of Transport and let them know
675
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:16,040
we'll have the highway
open sooner than expected.
676
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:17,880
Hook 'er up. She's all yours.
677
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:21,840
In this industry,
we're always learning,
678
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:24,080
where there's never a day
that we're not learning,
679
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:25,920
So, to work alongside
somebody like Mike,
680
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:28,080
who's got a lot more experience
than I do,
681
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:29,240
it's great to learn from him.
682
00:39:31,720 --> 00:39:34,280
And at the end of the day,
when we get the job done,
683
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:35,400
we're happy with it.
684
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:38,560
We wanna go home.
685
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:43,440
We're outta here.
686
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:46,560
They got the truck outta there now.
687
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:48,000
It won't be long before it's opened.
688
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:57,120
As the sun rises
just east of Toronto...
689
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,040
It's not something
I wanna do too often.
690
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:05,280
..tow trucks and wreckers
from across the province head
691
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:07,640
to a staging area in Pickering
692
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:11,400
to set up for a tribute
to the fallen operator.
693
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:14,480
Today's the procession,
694
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:16,400
the last cruise
695
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:19,640
for a fellow tow operator
that was struck and killed.
696
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:30,120
He lost his life
while he was working.
697
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:32,960
It shouldn't happen.
There's a law for us.
698
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:37,640
When you see an amber light,
you have to slow down and move over.
699
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:42,480
You know, every day
when we wake up and go to work,
700
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:44,400
you know, our main goal
is to get home to our families.
701
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:46,360
It's definitely something
we think about all the time.
702
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:48,200
It's a constant danger.
703
00:40:48,240 --> 00:40:50,400
I have employees
that are out on the line every day
704
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:52,680
doing what Todd was doing the day
he was killed,
705
00:40:52,720 --> 00:40:55,680
but I also have my family,
so for myself, I have both scenarios
706
00:40:55,720 --> 00:40:57,960
in the back of my mind all the time,
losing an employee,
707
00:40:58,000 --> 00:40:59,520
and possibly losing
one of my own children.
708
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:04,800
We're gonna take a drive
from here to the gravesite.
709
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:12,200
It's kind of a sobering moment,
710
00:41:12,240 --> 00:41:13,400
'cause that could have been me.
711
00:41:18,720 --> 00:41:22,920
Dan Steinhauer helped arrange
this procession to the cemetery
712
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:24,880
to pay respects to his friend.
713
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:29,640
His famous last words was,
"I'm on my way."
714
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:30,760
He would never say no.
715
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:36,360
Within minutes, everybody knew,
and I got a phone call
716
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:39,840
from my wife asking who it was,
and making sure I was OK,
717
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:44,000
and... it's... it's...
718
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:47,880
it's, it's hard.
719
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:59,000
(SOFT MUSIC)
720
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:12,840
My heart breaks
for the family, and, I mean,
721
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:16,840
I was at that scene when, you know,
minutes after he was killed,
722
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:19,080
which is tough, and now,
to be at a funeral,
723
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:22,160
to watch a family bury a son,
that's equally as hard.
724
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:25,600
And hopefully,
people get the message too,
725
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:28,560
when you see those flashing
lights, red, blue, amber,
726
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:30,880
whatever colour it is,
you've gotta slow down, move over.
727
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:31,960
We all want to get home,
728
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:34,480
and sadly here,
Todd's not coming home.
729
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:45,800
