[NARRATOR]: THIS TIME ON HEAVY RESCUE: 401...

GONNA BE A FUN ONE.

THAT'S A LOT OF MUD.

[NARRATOR]: ...A HARD PULL...

SHE'S GOIN'.

[NARRATOR]: ...GOES SIDEWAYS.

[CHAIN SNAPS] -WHOA!

[NARRATOR]: ERIC BATTLES A TRACTOR...

YOU BASTARD.

[NARRATOR]: ...AND RUNS OUT OF ROOM...

[ERIC]: NEVER GIVES ME A WARM AND FUZZY FEELING.

WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA!

OH, WOW.

[NARRATOR]: ...AND A WRECK ON ITS ROOF...

THE OTHER WAY, THIS WAY, THIS WAY.

I'M TRYING.

[NARRATOR]: ...TURNS COLLIN'S RECOVERY...

THERE HE GOES.

HOLD UP, COLL!

HOLD IT!

[NARRATOR]: ...ON ITS HEAD.

HEADS UP!

[CLANG] WHOA!

[NARRATOR]: SPRING IS DUE TO ARRIVE ANY DAY...

[NARRATOR]: ...BUT AT THE EASTERN END OF THE 401,

WINTER IS MAKING ONE LAST STAND.

[NARRATOR]: EAST OF CORNWALL,

UNPREPARED DRIVERS ARE FALLING PREY.

[NARRATOR]: THE MORNING HAS BARELY STARTED...

[ANDREW VINK]: GONNA BE A FUN ONE.

[NARRATOR]: ...WHEN ANDREW VINK SCOUTS THE SCENE

OF A SEVERE JACKKNIFE NEAR LANCASTER.

SHE'S IN THERE PRETTY GOOD.

SHE'LL BE QUITE THE TUG.

[ANDREW]: THIS THING IS FROZEN IN.

IT MAKES ANY JOB

THAT MUCH MORE DIFFICULT TO DEAL WITH.

[NARRATOR]: IF HE CAN START THE ENGINE,

HE CAN TRY TO STEER THE FRONT WHEELS

TOWARD THE ROAD...

[NARRATOR]: ...MAKING THE RECOVERY

A MUCH SIMPLER PULL.

[CHUCKLES RUEFULLY]

[ANDREW]: THE WIPERS WERE LEFT ON,

AND IT ENDED UP KILLING THE BATTERIES.

WE DON'T HAVE ANY POWER STEERING.

IT'S ALMOST AN UNWINNABLE FIGHT.

IT'S GONNA BE A TEAM EFFORT

TO GET THIS THING BACK ON THE ROAD.

[NARRATOR]: BUT A MAIN MEMBER OF HIS TEAM,

TJ ATCHISON,

HAS BEEN CALLED TO A TRUCK STOP

30 KILOMETRES AWAY.

HEY, BILL, WHAT'S THAT FIRE OVER THERE?

AI-YI-YI...

[EXPLOSION]

THAT'S NEVER A GOOD THING TO HEAR AT A GAS STATION.

[SIRENS WAILING]

FIRE'S ON SCENE!

OH, YEAH, SHE'S DONE.

[GLASS SHATTERING]

[♪♪♪]

[NARRATOR]: ON NORTH AMERICA'S BUSIEST HIGHWAY,

CLOSURE...

IS NOT AN OPTION.

[♪♪♪]

[NARRATOR]: ALMOST 800 KILOMETRES

SOUTHWEST OF CORNWALL...

[NARRATOR]: ...WARMER WEATHER HAS TAKEN HOLD,

AND AFTER A FOGGY MORNING,

THE FAR END OF THE 401 IS MOVING WELL.

[NARRATOR]: BUT SOUTHEAST OF WINDSOR...

[NARRATOR]: ...HIGHWAY 3 ISN'T MOVING AT ALL.

HOORAH!

[NARRATOR]: LEAD OPERATOR ERIC GODARD

AND THE COXON CREW

ARE WRESTLING WITH A SEMI.

[ERIC]: YOU'RE READY, EH, MATT?

[MATT]: YUP.

[NARRATOR]: THE FRONT SUFFERED HEAVY DAMAGE

IN A HEAD-ON...

SHE WON'T PULL IN HIGH,

SO I STILL GOT A GUIDE ON 'ER.

[NARRATOR]: ...AND ERIC HAS BEEN FORCED TO RIG

TO THE TOW PINS,

NOT DESIGNED FOR THIS KIND OF STRESS.

[ERIC]: THE TRACTOR'S PRETTY MUCH DESTROYED.

EVEN IF THE RIGGING STAYS TOGETHER,

IF WHAT WE'RE PULLING ON DOESN'T STAY TOGETHER,

THEN YOU CAN BE LOOKING AT

AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

[NARRATOR]: WEIGHING IN AT 140,000 POUNDS,

LOADED WITH MULCH,

THE SEMI...

[NARRATOR]: ...IS FIGHTING BACK.

[NARRATOR]: ERIC'S RELYING ON JUNIOR ROTATOR OP

GEORGE DAGENAIS,

AND NEW HIRE MATT CHARETTE...

THAT BACK END JUST STAYED IN THE GRAVEL.

[NARRATOR]: ...TO KEEP AN EYE ON THE HEAVY BACK END.

MATT, IF IT STARTS TO ROLL AT ALL, YOU LOCK 'EM UP.

WE'VE OPTED TO RELEASE THE TRAILER BRAKES,

BUT IF IT TRIES TO RUN AWAY ON US,

HE RELEASES THAT AIRLINE,

AND IT'LL LOCK THE BRAKES BACK UP FOR US.

EVERYTHING I TEACH THEM

IS BECAUSE I'VE LEARNED THE HARD WAY.

I WANT THE YOUNG GUYS 25 YEARS FROM NOW

TO SAY THAT THEY'VE GOT ALL THEIR FINGERS AND TOES

BECAUSE THEY WERE TAUGHT PROPERLY.

MAKE SURE WE DON'T PINCH THAT AIRLINE!

TRANSMISSION IS ACTUALLY UNDER THE AXLES,

SO IT JUST WON'T ALLOW ME TO STEER IT

WHERE I NEED IT TO GO.

I WANT TO SEPARATE THEM,

BUT I CAN'T SEPARATE THEM

UNTIL I GET THE LANDING GEAR OF THE TRAILER UP ON THE ROAD.

[ERIC]: THE TRAILER'S GOT SO MUCH WEIGHT

THAT IF WE DROP IT WITH ONE LEG IN THE GRAVEL,

THE ODDS ARE

THE SHOULDER WON'T HOLD THE LOAD,

AND IT'LL END UP ROLLING OVER ON US.

IS THAT LANDING GEAR GETTING CLOSER?

COME ON, YOU BASTARD.

GETTING CLOSE NOW?

SHE COME OFF THE TEETH.

OKAY.

IF YOU LOOK RIGHT HERE, HERE'S THE SHOULDER,

MY FOOT'S ON IT,

SO IF WE GOT ALL THREE AXLES ON THERE,

I THINK WE'RE FINE.

[ERIC]: NOW THAT WE'VE GOT THE ENTIRE TRACTOR

AND THE FRONT LANDING GEAR OF THE TRAILER ONTO THE ROADWAY,

WE'RE GOING TO SEPARATE IT.

MATT, LANDING GEAR, PLEASE.

[ERIC]: SHOULD THE LANDING GEAR NOT HOLD,

THERE'S A GOOD CHANCE THAT IT ENDS UP ON ITS SIDE.

-COMING OUT? -YUP!

I'M ON YOU, GEORGE.

IS THAT TRAILER OKAY, GEORGE?

[FRAME CREAKING]

OKAY, HOLD ON.

ARE YOU NERVOUS?

YEAH.

THE WHOLE TRAILER SHIFTED THIS WAY.

YOU WORK THE TRUCK.

[ERIC]: THIS CAN BE A REALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION HERE...

OKAY.

I HAD HIM ACTUALLY SWITCH AND WORK THE TRUCK

WHILE I SPOT THE TRAILER,

SO IF I SEE SOMETHING GOING SIDEWAYS,

I CAN STOP HIM.

JUST IN CASE.

I LIKE TO PUT MYSELF IN THAT RISK ZONE,

AS OPPOSED TO ASKING ONE OF OUR OTHER GUYS TO DO IT.

WANNA MAKE SURE IT'S GOING TO STAY ON THE ROAD.

NICE AND EASY, GEORGE.

IF I'M WRONG,

THIS TRAILER'S GOING TO BE DOWN IN THIS DITCH.

TAKE IT OUT.

WE'RE CLEAR.

I'LL TAKE IT FROM THERE, GEORGE.

[ERIC]: IT'S REAL NICE TO SEE THE TRACTOR COME OUT

FROM UNDER THE TRAILER.

WE KNOW THAT IT'S SITTING THERE STABLE.

WHERE'S THE TIRE?

SHE'S A MESS.

THE TRACTOR'S IN EXTREMELY BAD SHAPE.

THE AXLE'S PARTIALLY TORE OUT OF IT...

THE BACK AXLES ARE DESTROYED AS WELL.

PRETTY MUCH ANYTHING CAN GO WRONG.

[NARRATOR]: AND ERIC HAS NO TIME

FOR ANY MORE PROBLEMS.

[ERIC]: IF THE FOG COMES BACK IN THIS AFTERNOON,

LIKE THEY'RE CALLING FOR,

AND THEY GOT ALL THIS TRAFFIC ON THE SECONDARY ROADS,

IT'S JUST GONNA BE A WHOLE LOT BIGGER PROBLEM THAN THIS.

BACK THROUGH HERE?

[NARRATOR]: BACK AT THE TRUCK STOP IN CORNWALL...

IS THE ENGINE GOOD?

[NARRATOR]: ...FIREFIGHTERS HAVE PUT OUT THE FIRE

IN THE OVERHEATED SUV...

WE NEED ABOUT ANOTHER FOOT.

[NARRATOR]: ...SO TJ NEEDS TO LOAD IT UP FAST

AND JOIN ANDREW AT THE JACKKNIFE SCENE.

[TJ]: YOU DON'T WANT DEBRIS FLYING EVERYWHERE,

SO YOU JUST GOTTA MAKE SURE IT GOES UP SQUARE,

GOES BACK DOWN SQUARE.

WATCH THE METAL.

GOOD!

BRING 'ER DOWN, TEEJ.

GOING DOWN.

HOLD ON, DAN.

SHE'S DOWN.

WE'VE ALREADY BEEN HERE LONG ENOUGH, LET'S GO.

ONCE AGAIN YOU'RE RUSHING OUT,

THINKING IT'S JUST YOUR EVERYDAY TRUCK IN THE CENTRE MEDIAN,

TOW-HOOKS, AWAY YOU GO...

CUTTIN' IN.

[TJ]: BUT I SHOW UP ON SCENE, AND...

WHEW, THAT'S A GOOD ONE.

WOW.

HE HIT REAL HARD.

ALL RIGHT, TIME TO ROCK AND ROLL.

[ANDREW]: THIS THING DOESN'T START,

SO I RECOMMEND HOOKING UP TO THE RAILS,

PULLING IT BACK

AS TJ IS PULLING ON THE DRIVES

TO GET THAT CAB AWAY FROM THAT TRAILER.

-"HERB'S" ON THREE. -ONE, TWO, THREE--

[TOGETHER]: HERB'S!

[GROANING] OH, YEAH, MOMMA!

[NARRATOR]: IT'S BEEN A TOUGH SEASON FOR HERB'S.

COME ON...

WE HAVE SENIOR OPERATORS THAT HAVE LEFT THE COMPANY...

WHOA!

[ANDREW]: ...LEAVING WITH A CREW

THAT'S RELATIVELY NEW TO HEAVY RECOVERY THIS YEAR.

[NARRATOR]: THEY'VE HAD TO LEARN THE JOB...

THERE IT GOES.

[SAW BUZZING]

[NARRATOR]: ...IN A HURRY.

[ANDREW]: WE'VE HAD LIGHT DUTIES OPERATORS

BECOME HEAVY-DUTY OPERATORS.

YEAH!

SWING THE TRACTOR AROUND,

AND BRING IT RIGHT TO THE ROAD.

[NARRATOR]: TODAY,

THERE'S A BRAND-NEW ADDITION TO THE RECOVERY CREW...

YOU WANT ME TO GO TAKE OFF WHAT'S ON THE TRAILER?

-YEAH. -OKAY.

[NARRATOR]: ...ANDREW'S YOUNGER SISTER, JENN,

HAS LEFT THE OFFICE

TO EXPERIENCE A RECOVERY FIRSTHAND.

SHE WANTED TO SEE HOW THESE RECOVERIES ARE DONE.

SHE'S THE HEART OF THE DISPATCH,

BUT TO ACTUALLY SEE WHAT GOES ON ON THESE WRECKS,

THAT WOULD BE A FIRST FOR HER.

[JENN]: I LOVE IT.

I LIKE BEING OUTSIDE.

I WANT TO GO OUT ON JOBS,

I WANT TO GO OUT ON WRECKS,

SO I CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY'RE GOING THROUGH,

I CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT WE DEAL WITH.

[NARRATOR]: BUT HER SAFETY

WILL BE ONE MORE CONCERN FOR ANDREW

ON A JOB THAT'S ALREADY A CHALLENGE.

IT'S NOT GOING ON.

ALL RIGHT, SO WE'LL WINCH IT OUT THE WAY IT IS.

[NARRATOR]: THE TRACTOR CAN'T STEER,

SO THEY'LL HAVE TO WRANGLE IT STRAIGHT.

IT ADDS RESISTANCE

AND ADDS COMPLICATION TO THE JOB, FOR SURE.

[NARRATOR]: STEP ONE,

OPERATOR STEPHANE WILL PULL THE REAR OF THE TRAILER

TOWARD THE ROAD...

GET 'ER SNUG, TEEJ!

[NARRATOR]: ...WHILE TJ PULLS ON THE BACK OF THE TRACTOR.

OKAY, LET'S GO!

OKAY, YOU PULL, TEEJ.

HAVE HIM HOLD, YOU PULL.

[TJ]: SHE'S GOING.

THAT'S IT,

YOU SWING TO THE FRONT,

THEN WE'LL SWING THE FRONT END RIGHT OUT.

[NARRATOR]: NOW TJ WILL RE-RIG

TO GET THE TRACTOR STRAIGHT AND IN LINE.

[TJ]: I'M GOING TO SWOOP AROUND,

GRAB THE FRONT END WITH THE TOW HOOKS,

AND THEN SWING IT AROUND, AND AWAY WE GO.

[SPEAKING FRENCH]

I'VE GOT TO PUT A BIT OF PRESSURE ON THE BUMPER

TO GET THE HOOK IN,

OR ELSE IT WON'T GO IN.

SHE'S IN.

[NARRATOR]: THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BUMPER

IS BURIED IN MUD,

SO THEY'LL RIG TO JUST ONE HOOK.

[ANDREW]: THE ANGLE WAS ALLOWING US

TO PULL ON THE TOW-HOOK IN SUCH A WAY

THAT HE'S PULLING INWARDS ON THE TOW-HOOK.

[NARRATOR]: THAT ANGLE SHOULD ALLOW THE HOOK

TO WITHSTAND THE FORCE OF THE PULL.

[ANDREW]: OKAY, GOOD. YOU CAN PULL BACK,

AND HE CAN SWING THE FRONT END.

OKAY, YOU PULL, TEEJ.

[NARRATOR]: BUT AS THE TRACTOR TURNS,

THE ANGLE STARTS TO CHANGE.

THOSE TOW HOOKS AREN'T MADE FOR THAT HARD OF A SIDE PULL,

ON TOP OF THE MUD PILING UP AGAINST IT,

SO IT'S KIND OF LIKE A PLOW GOING IN THE DITCH.

OH, THAT'S A LOT OF MUD IN THERE.

[ANDREW]: NOT KNOWING

EXACTLY HOW THIS THING'S GOING TO REACT,

YOU CAN FEEL THE STRESS AND THE PRESSURE BUILD UP.

A TOW HOOK CAN ACTUALLY RIP YOUR HEAD OFF.

SHE'S GOING.

[SNAPS] WHOA!

[ANDREW]: OKAY, YOU PULL, TEEJ...

[NARRATOR]: ON THE 401 EAST OF CORNWALL...

OH, THAT'S A LOT OF MUD IN THERE.

SHE'S GOING.

[NARRATOR]: ...ANDREW'S PULL ON THE TOW PIN...

[SNAPS] WHOA!

AW, IT SNAPPED.

[NARRATOR]: ...HAS HIT THE BREAKING POINT.

TOW HOOK SNAPPED OFF.

[TJ]: YOU DON'T WANT ANYBODY TO GET HIT BY THAT.

THAT CAN BREAK A LIMB, BREAK A LEG,

YOU KNOW, YOU CAN KNOCK SOMEONE OUT.

[JENN]: IT MADE ME JUMP A LITTLE,

AND MAKES ME THINK, "WHAT DID THEY DO WRONG?"

[SNAPS]

THEY'RE MEANT FOR STRAIGHT ON OR LIFTING,

NOT THE SIDE PULL,

SO SHE GAVE OUT, SHE SNAPPED.

OH, MAN.

I KIND OF KICKED MYSELF IN THE BUTT...

RIGGING FAILURE SHOULD NOT HAPPEN, PERIOD.

[NARRATOR]: BUT IT WASN'T A TOTAL LOSS.

[ANDREW]: IT WAS A LITTLE BIT OF A GAMBLE,

BUT IT WORKED OUT FOR US.

JUST LOOP IT ONCE RIGHT AROUND THE LEAF SPRING.

THERE WE GO, JUST LIKE THAT.

[NARRATOR]: THEY MOVED THE TRACTOR

JUST ENOUGH OUT OF THE MUD

TO ALLOW ACCESS FOR RIGGING TO THE SUSPENSION.

OKAY.

OKAY, START PULLING.

[ANDREW]: THERE'S NO MORE THAW ON THE GROUND,

SO YOU'RE PLOWING THIS

LIKE YOU'RE PLOWING A FARMER'S FIELD.

SHE'S GOING.

SLOWLY.

RIGHT THERE.

SHE'S OUT, BUT DON'T STOP THE PACE.

WE STILL NEED TO GET OFF THIS HIGHWAY,

LIKE, YESTERDAY.

WE'LL FREE-SPOOL, DRIVE AHEAD,

AND THEN WE'LL JUST BRING BOTH UNITS BACK ON THE ROAD.

LOW!

GOOD!

THAT IS AWESOME.

HOOK IT UP, AND WE'RE OUT OF HERE.

OUAIS?

OUAIS.

FOR ME, IT'S EXTREMELY IMPORTANT

TO BE OUT ON THE ROAD, AND TO BE ABLE TO LEARN.

I WOULDN'T TRADE MY JOB,

BUT I DO WANT TO UNDERSTAND

WHAT'S GOING ON ON THE ROAD

TO BE ABLE TO DO MY JOB BETTER IN THE OFFICE.

I'LL DO MINE,

THEN I'LL SHOW YOU WHAT TO DO.

OKAY.

THAT SHOULD BE GOOD, TEEJ, ACTUALLY.

YOU'RE IN.

AWESOME, GOOD JOB.

THANKS.

BEING HANDS-ON ON THE WRECKS DOESN'T SCARE ME.

IT'S NEVER SCARED ME.

IT ACTUALLY DRIVES ME.

THERE YOU GO.

PEOPLE THINK I CAN'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE OF MY SIZE.

I MIGHT LACK MUSCLES,

CHAINS MIGHT BE A LITTLE TOO HEAVY AT SOME POINT,

BUT I'M JUST AS CAPABLE AS ANYONE ELSE.

[NARRATOR]: IT'S BEEN A DAY OF LEARNING FOR JENN...

YOU'RE READY TO WORK WEEKENDS NOW.

[LAUGHS]

[NARRATOR]: ...AND A WINTER OF LEARNING

FOR HERB'S REVAMPED CREW.

NICE JOB. DRIVE SAFE.

I'LL SEE YOU AT THE SHOP.

10-4.

YOU KNOW, WE SCREW IT UP,

AND WE JUST GOT TO BETTER OURSELVES AS A TEAM,

AND WE ARE GREEN, WE ARE GOING TO LEARN TOGETHER,

AND IT'S PART OF GROWING BIGGER AND GROWING BETTER.

[NARRATOR]: ON HIGHWAY 3 IN LEAMINGTON...

[NARRATOR]: ...TRAFFIC HAS BEEN BACKING UP FOR HOURS...

THROW A STRAP ON THERE RIGHT NOW AND GET IT DONE.

[NARRATOR]: ...AND ERIC AND CREW ARE STILL WORKING

TO GET THEIR WRECK OFF THE ROAD.

KINDA RACING AGAINST THE CLOCK RIGHT NOW

TO GET THE ROAD OPEN.

[NARRATOR]: RUNNING SOUTH OF THE 401,

HIGHWAY 3 CONNECTS WINDSOR AND THE U.S. BORDER

TO THE AGRICULTURE INDUSTRY AROUND LEAMINGTON.

[ERIC]: HIGHWAY NUMBER 3 IS AN EXTREMELY BUSY ROUTE.

THE LONGER YOU KEEP THAT HIGHWAY CLOSED,

YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE ALL THE SECONDARY ROADWAYS

START TO CLUTTER INSTANTLY.

TIGHTENING UP YOURS SOME.

[NARRATOR]: THEY'VE RIGGED AND SEPARATED THE TRACTOR...

I THINK WE GOT IT NOW.

YUP.

[NARRATOR]: ...BUT IT NEEDS TO GO ON THE FLATDECK,

IF IT CAN SURVIVE THE TRIP.

[ERIC]: YOU WOULDN'T THINK THERE'S SO MUCH DAMAGE

ON A SEMI BEING HIT FROM A PICKUP TRUCK...

...BUT PRETTY MUCH EVERY AXLE ON THE TRACTOR IS DESTROYED.

HOLD ON!

THE AXLE'S STAYING ON THE GROUND NOW.

OKAY, LET'S GET YOU UP HERE AND GRAB A LINE ON IT.

THE AXLE LOOKS LIKE IT'S COMPLETELY FREE,

SO WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND RIG IT,

AND JUST PULL IT RIGHT OUT OF THERE,

SO IT'S OUT OF THE WAY.

YOU CAN HOOK IT INTO THERE.

I'M ON YOU, GEORGE.

TAKE IT RIGHT OUT.

[GEORGE]: HE'S A REALLY GOOD MENTOR,

BECAUSE HE KNOWS SO MUCH.

HE'S BEEN AROUND FOR SO LONG,

AND IT'S VERY HARD TO FIND A GUY LIKE THAT

WITH THAT MUCH EXPERIENCE,

AND THAT MUCH TIME AT A COMPANY.

I'LL PICK THIS THING UP HERE, I'LL PUT IT OVER HERE FOR NOW,

LET THE FLOAT COME THROUGH THEN, AND BACK UNDER IT.

YUP.

[NARRATOR]: ERIC WILL NEED TO ROTATE THE TRUCK

TO GET IT IN PLACE.

I HAVEN'T HAD A REMOTE CONTROL IN A WHILE...

BUT IT APPEARS TO BE WORKING NOW.

THE REMOTE'S BEEN GIVING US SOME REAL PROBLEMS.

IT SEEMS TO BE FUNCTIONING OFF AND ON.

FIRE IN THE HOLE.

[ERIC]: WHEN YOU HAVE THE REMOTE,

YOU'RE ALWAYS STANDING SOMEWHERE

THAT YOU COULD BE CLEAR IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG.

IF SOMETHING BREAKS, SOMETHING SNAPS,

YOU'RE GOING TO BE OUT OF THE WAY.

IF SOMETHING BREAKS, SOMETHING SNAPS,

Are you (Bleep)ing me?

AND JUST LIKE THAT I DON'T HAVE A REMOTE AGAIN.

AND NOW I CAN'T GET THE THING TO FUNCTION AT ALL.

[NARRATOR]: SO ERIC WILL HAVE TO WORK

RIGHT IN BETWEEN THE WRECK

AND HIS ROTATOR.

IF I HAD THAT REMOTE IN MY HAND,

I WOULDN'T BE JEOPARDIZING MYSELF BEING IN HERE.

[ERIC]: THIS IS DEFINITELY ONE OF THOSE SCENARIOS

WHERE YOU'RE GOING TO PUT YOURSELF

IN DANGER OF BEING CRUSHED.

IF I LET THIS THING GET AWAY FROM ME,

OR ANY OF THE RIGGING FAILS,

IT'S AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SPOT TO BE IN.

NEVER GIVES ME A WARM AND FUZZY FEELING

STANDING IN A PLACE LIKE THIS.

AND JUST LIKE THAT, I DON'T HAVE A REMOTE AGAIN.

[NARRATOR]: ON HIGHWAY 3...

IT'D BE NICE IF MY REMOTE WOULD WORK.

[NARRATOR]: ...ERIC IS STUCK

IN THE MIDDLE OF A TOUGH SITUATION.

[ERIC]: I'M LITERALLY STANDING AGAINST MY WRECKER

WITH MY ARM ON THE ACTUAL LOAD,

TRYING TO KEEP IT FROM SWINGING INTO MY TRUCK,

OR WORSE, SWINGING INTO ME.

THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SPOT TO BE IN,

AND I DON'T WANT TO BE HERE ANY LONGER THAN I HAVE TO.

ONLY TAKES ONCE TO GO FROM HERO TO ZERO.

[NARRATOR]: BUT ERIC PUTS HIS YOUNG CREW'S SAFETY

AHEAD OF HIS OWN.

[ERIC]: YOU KNOW, THEY'RE ALL VERY QUICK TO VOLUNTEER,

BUT I WOULDN'T FORGIVE MYSELF IF ONE OF THEM GOT HURT.

JUST A COUPLE OF FEET.

DONE.

[NARRATOR]: WITH THE TRACTOR POSITIONED AT THE RIGHT ANGLE,

ERIC NEEDS TO GET IT DOWN ON THE TRAILER.

ADAM!

I NEED YOU IN THE FLOAT! LET'S GO!

I DON'T CARE IF THAT THING

HANGS OFF THE BACK OF HIS TRUCK FOREVER.

YOU'RE OKAY, YOU'RE OKAY...

YEAH, YOU STAND UP THERE WHERE HE CAN SEE YOU,

AND DON'T LET HIM HIT MY LEGS.

YOU GOT HIM, BRAD?

OKAY!

NOW, MATT, THE ONLY REASON WE'RE UNDER HERE

IS BECAUSE WE GOT THE FLOAT PROTECTING US, RIGHT?

YEP.

GOT IT?

YEAH.

EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS.

OKAY.

OKAY, WE CAN GET THIS THING ON NOW.

[NARRATOR]: ONCE AGAIN...

CAN YOU START BRINGING HIM VERY SLOWLY?

OKAY.

SLOW!

[NARRATOR]: ...ERIC MUST PUT HIMSELF

RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE.

[GEORGE]: HE HAS THE TRUCK

HANGING OFF THE SIDE OF HIS ROTATOR,

AND YOU HAVE ADAM BACKING UP THE TRAILER IN BETWEEN THERE,

SO ONE WRONG MOVE,

THE TRUCK COULD FALL ON HIM...

YUP. OKAY.

[ERIC]: WHEN I'M STANDING HERE LIKE THIS,

AND I'VE GOT A LOAD IN THE AIR,

AND I'M WAITING ON THE FLOAT,

THAT'S THE ONLY THING I'M THINKING ABOUT,

IS WHAT THE HELL IS TAKING SO LONG?

GOT ONE ON THE DECK?

YOU'RE OKAY ON THAT SIDE.

OKAY!

IT'S LOW ENOUGH!

[ERIC]: IT'S A GOOD FEELING

TO HAVE THE ACTUAL SEMI DOWN ON THE FLOAT...

OKAY, TIE 'ER UP.

[ERIC]: EVERYTHING WENT REALLY WELL.

IT'S A RELIEF FOR SURE.

WE WOULDN'T WANT IT TO ROLL AWAY.

THIS ONE'S GOOD.

WHOO-HOO!

I DO EVERYTHING I CAN TO TRAIN THE GUYS.

WHEN EVERYTHING COMES TOGETHER LIKE THAT,

THEY'RE ONE STEP CLOSER TO STEPPING INTO MY SHOES.

IT'S A GOOD SIGN THAT THINGS ARE WORKING

THE WAY THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO.

OKAY, LET'S GO.

WE ARE OUT OF HERE.

[NARRATOR]: 140 KILOMETRES NORTH,

JUST OFF THE 402...

OH, WOW, LOOK AT THAT.

[NARRATOR]: ...GARY VANDENHEUVEL

IS STARING DOWN A WRECK ON HIGHWAY 40,

A WRECK UNLIKE ANY JOB HE'S FACED BEFORE.

ALL RIGHT, WELL,

THIS ONE'S GONNA BE A GOOD ONE.

[GARY]: WHEN YOU GET THERE, AND YOU SEE THAT,

IT'S LIKE, "WOW."

YEAH, IT'S COMING UP A BIT, SO...

OKAY.

I'VE NEVER SEEN ONE LIKE THIS BEFORE.

THIS IS, UH, THIS IS UNIQUE.

[GARY]: IT'S PERFECTLY STRAIGHT,

TOTALLY WHEELS UP IN THE AIR.

I KNOW RIGHT FROM THE START

THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE A CHALLENGE.

[NARRATOR]: THE SEMI,

FULLY LOADED WITH PRODUCE,

LOST CONTROL ON THE 402 OFF-RAMP,

SMASHING DOWN ON THE EDGE OF HIGHWAY 40,

AND SLAMMING OVER ONTO ITS ROOF.

SO WE'RE RIGHT OFF THE 402,

DRIVING ONTO THE 40,

SO THAT'S A PRETTY BUSY RAMP HERE.

[NARRATOR]: THE DRIVER ESCAPED,

BUT ALL BUT ONE LANE OF HIGHWAY 40

AND THE RAMP TO THE 402 ARE CLOSED...

[NARRATOR]: ...BUT GARY CAN'T PROCEED

UNTIL THE TRAILER IS EMPTY.

THERE'S ABOUT 60,000 POUNDS OF APPLES IN THIS ONE.

THE ROOF ISN'T GOING TO HOLD

IF WE TRY TO UPRIGHT IT WITH IT FULLY LOADED,

SO WE'VE GOT TO GET THIS THING OFFLOADED

BEFORE WE CAN EVEN TOUCH IT.

SO WE GOT THAT SECURE UP THERE, THAT WAS GOOD.

YUP.

[NARRATOR]: WITH THE HEAVY TRAILER DECK OVERHEAD,

THE ROTATOR IS PROVIDING SAFETY SUPPORT

FOR THE OFFLOAD CREW...

IT IS GOING TO BECOME TOP HEAVY

WITH THOSE TIRES UP TOP AND THE LOAD OUT OF IT.

YUP.

SO YOU CERTAINLY WOULDN'T WANT IT TO FALL OVER

WITH EVERYBODY IN THERE.

YEAH, THAT WOULDN'T BE GOOD.

[GARY]: EVERYTHING'S UPSIDE DOWN,

EVERYTHING IS JUST BACKWARDS TO WHAT YOU'D NORMALLY THINK.

GETTING A LITTLE TRICKY.

IT'S GETTING DARK, SO, UH...

TRYING TO MAKE THINGS HAPPEN AS QUICK AS WE CAN

SO THAT, UH, WE CAN OPEN UP THIS LANE AGAIN.

[KYLE]: UNREAL.

UH... [CHUCKLES]

I'VE NEVER SEEN ONE ON ITS ROOF BEFORE.

THAT'S KIND OF RARE.

[NARRATOR]: ...AND GARY NEEDS TO COME UP WITH A GAME PLAN...

FAST.

[GARY]: I'M STUDYING IT, AND I'M LOOKING AT IT,

"WHAT ARE GOING TO BE THE CHALLENGES,"

"HOW AM I GOING TO DO THIS?"

AS AN OPERATOR, YOU THINK YOU'VE SEEN IT ALL.

I'VE BEEN DOING RECOVERY NOW,

AND I'VE BEEN IN THE TOWING INDUSTRY

FOR 30-PLUS YEARS...

I'VE NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE.

ONE MORE, GUYS, AND THAT'S IT.

[NARRATOR]: ON HIGHWAY 40,

JUST BELOW THE 402...

THE OFFLOAD IS OVER.

[GARY]: THAT'S THE LAST LOAD OF APPLES AND PEARS.

IT'S OUT OF HERE.

THAT'S THE LOAD PORTION DONE.

NOW THE FUN PART.

[GARY]: WHEN I'M LOOKING AT THIS WRECK,

IT'S VERY CONFUSING.

IT'S UPSIDE DOWN, IT'S BACKWARDS.

IT'S JUST OPPOSITE

TO EVERYTHING THAT YOU'RE THINKING.

WE'LL GO TO THE FRONT...

YUP.

I'M GOING TO TAKE THAT TRACTOR OFF ON ITS OWN.

YUP.

I CANNOT ROLL THIS AS ONE UNIT.

BEING UPSIDE DOWN LIKE THIS, IT'S JUST TOO DIFFICULT.

[NARRATOR]: COLLIN WILL LIFT AND LEVEL THE TRACTOR

SO HE CAN SLIDE IT AWAY TO BE UPRIGHTED SEPARATELY.

[GARY]: WE'LL LIFT THE FRONT END,

AND HOPEFULLY IT'LL TAKE PRESSURE

OFF THAT FIFTH WHEEL PLATE,

AND WE CAN PULL THAT PIN.

I NEED SOME CHAINS!

JUST FOR THE INITIAL LIFT,

I'M JUST GOING TO USE THESE TWO LINES,

AND WE'LL LIFT IT WITH THOSE TWO.

OKAY.

WHEN YOU'RE ON TOP OF THIS UNIT,

YOU HAVE TO BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL.

YOU REALLY DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU'RE STANDING.

YOU COULD TWIST A FOOT,

YOU COULD FALL, YOU COULD SLIP.

EVERY STEP HAS TO BE PLANNED.

OKAY, START SNUGGING UP ON RED.

OKAY!

IT'S ALL YOURS, COLLIN.

[COLLIN]: THIS IS A VERY TECHNICAL RECOVERY,

SO I THINK IT'S A GOOD LEARNING EXPERIENCE FOR ME,

AND HOPEFULLY, YEAH,

IT GOES WELL.

BOOM UP, COLL!

BOOM IT UP!

YEAH, THIS SHOULD START COMING DOWN NOW.

KEEP GOING A BIT HIGHER.

TRY AND GET IT RIGHT LEVEL FOR ME.

OKAY.

HOLD ON.

[GARY]: EVERYTHING IS BACKWARDS,

AND YOUR MIND KEEPS PLAYING WITH YOU.

IT KEEPS TURNING IT BACK

TO THE WAY YOU FEEL IT SHOULD BE.

IT'S A TOUGH SITUATION TO BE IN.

SWING IT THIS WAY A BIT.

NO, THE OTHER WAY.

[COLLIN]: RIGHT'S LEFT, AND LEFT IS RIGHT.

UP IS DOWN, AND DOWN IS UP.

IT REALLY FLIPS YOU RIGHT AROUND.

THE OTHER WAY, THIS WAY, THIS WAY.

I'M TRYING.

[NARRATOR]: 300 KILOMETRES NORTHEAST,

THE EVENING RUSH IS CRAWLING THROUGH TORONTO...

[NARRATOR]: ...AND ON THE WESTBOUND 401...

[NARRATOR]: ...AT VICTORIA PARK...

ARE YOU GUYS GOOD?

[NARRATOR]: ...OPP CONSTABLE PRASH NIRANJAN

HAS JUST SEEN A VERY CLOSE CALL.

WE WERE HERE PROVIDING A LITTLE BIT OF COVERAGE

FOR A COLLISION AHEAD,

AND ONE OF THE SAFEST THINGS FOR US TO DO

IS TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE A BLOCKER TRUCK.

[NARRATOR]: A BLOCKER TRUCK ACTS AS A BUFFER,

PROTECTING CREWS AND FIRST RESPONDERS

WORKING ON THE HIGHWAY.

TONIGHT...

THIS ONE DID ITS JOB.

ALL I COULD HEAR WAS A BIG LOUD CRASHING NOISE.

RIGHT AWAY I KNEW THAT SOMEBODY HAD CRASHED

INTO THE BACK OF THE CRASH TRUCK.

WE WERE FORTUNATE THAT WE HAD THE BLOCKER TRUCK HERE

THAT TOOK THE BRUNT OF IT.

WE CALL IT A CRASH SYSTEM.

IT'S RETRACTABLE, SO WHEN WE PULL UP ON SCENE,

WE DROP THE SYSTEM DOWN...

IT HELPS ABSORB THE IMPACT.

PEOPLE DON'T PAY ATTENTION, THEY DON'T SLOW DOWN.

EVEN WITH ALL OUR BIG FLASHING LIGHTS AND OUR ARROWS,

THEY JUST DON'T SEE US.

[NARRATOR]: NOW THEY NEED TO GET THE BLOCKER TRUCK

AND THE CREW OFF THE HIGHWAY.

WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO GET THE MECHANISM OFF THE GROUND,

GET IT ALL CHAINED UP,

AND TRY TO REOPEN THE HIGHWAY,

SO WE DON'T HAVE ANOTHER COLLISION LIKE WE HAD EARLIER.

[NARRATOR]: BUT THE PLATFORM IS JAMMED,

DAMAGED IN THE IMPACT.

[NIRANJAN]: IT CAN'T BE LIFTED UP ANYMORE,

SO THEY'RE GOING TO TRY TO CHAIN IT UP,

AND HOPEFULLY THEY CAN DO IT, WE'LL SEE.

I NEED AN INCH.

[NARRATOR]: THE MAINTENANCE CREW

PATCHES THE STRUCTURE TOGETHER WITH A BOLT,

AND HOPES IT WILL HOLD.

[NIRANJAN]: NICE, AWESOME, THERE YOU GO.

SO THAT'S SOME INNOVATIVE THINKING RIGHT THERE.

I THINK WE'RE READY TO OPEN UP THE HIGHWAY

AND MAKE SURE WE'RE ALL OUT OF HERE SAFE AND SOUND.

IF YOU FEEL A VEHICLE GOING PAST YOU

AT 100 KILOMETRES AN HOUR,

YOU REALLY DO FEEL THAT.

IF PEOPLE COULD JUST SLOW DOWN AND MOVE THAT ONE LANE OVER,

IT MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE FOR US ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY.

IF IT'S NOT FOR HIM

TO BE THERE TO GIVE US A LITTLE BIT OF PROTECTION,

OUR JOBS WOULD BE EVEN MORE SCARIER,

SO I PERSONALLY

DEFINITELY HAVE A LOT OF RESPECT FOR THE GUY.

LET OUT ON GREEN!

[NARRATOR]: BACK ON HIGHWAY 40 IN SARNIA...

COLLIN, LET OFF ON GREEN!

OFF ON GREEN!

[NARRATOR]: COLLIN HAS LEVELED OUT THE TRACTOR...

THERE YOU GO.

[NARRATOR]: ...SO THEY CAN PULL IT FREE.

[GARY]: OKAY, WE'RE GOING TO TRY AND PULL THAT PIN.

OKAY.

I'VE GOT TO TRY AND FIND THE, UH...

FIFTH WHEEL PIN WHERE I NEED TO PULL.

EVERYTHING IS BACKWARDS AND UPSIDE DOWN.

IT'S AMAZING WHAT SEEMS PRETTY SIMPLE,

BUT UPSIDE DOWN, IT'S A TOTALLY DIFFERENT BALL GAME.

THERE IT IS.

I FOUND IT.

GOT IT!

YOU GOT 'ER?

GOT IT.

NICE!

OKAY, COLL,

FIRST THING I WANT YOU TO DO

IS SLIDE THIS THING.

YEAH.

SLIDE IT THIS WAY.

OKAY.

[COLLIN]: EVERY TIME I RUN THE CONTROLS ON THE ROTATOR,

IT'S A NEW EXPERIENCE FOR ME.

I'M STILL LEARNING A LOT,

SO EVERYTHING IS PRETTY NERVE-RACKING.

NOW LET'S LIFT ON GREEN FIRST...

AND BOOM UP.

OKAY, LET'S SLIDE IT.

[KYLE]: WE'RE OFF THE PIN.

WE'RE OFF THAT PIN.

OKAY, START BOOMING UP A BIT, COLLIN.

HOLD ON! HOLD IT!

THAT TRAILER'S STARTING TO ROLL ON US.

I'M CONCERNED THAT THIS TRAILER MAY NOT STAY UPRIGHT

AS HE SLIDES IT OFF.

THE TRACTOR MAY ACTUALLY BE HOLDING IT UPRIGHT.

STILL HOOKING ON THAT TRAILER!

[FRAME SETTLING HEAVILY]

SEE WHAT THAT TRAILER WANTS TO DO.

IT MIGHT JUST FALL RIGHT OVER ON US.

[KYLE]: I THINK THE TRAILER'S DONE MOVING.

IT'S DONE MOVING? OKAY.

[COLLIN]: YEAH, WE'RE UP.

[GARY]: COLLIN'S GOT THIS TRACTOR

FREE FROM THE TRAILER,

SO NOW WE NEED TO SET IT DOWN

AND RE-RIG FOR THE ROLLOVER.

DOWN, DOWN, DOWN.

IT'S GOOD.

JUST GOT TO PUT ANOTHER SLING ON THE FRONT RIM,

AND HOPEFULLY COLLIN WILL BE ABLE TO PICK ON THAT,

AND IT WILL CREATE A BIT OF A ROLL FOR US.

[GARY]: YOU'RE TRYING TO GET THIS RIGGED,

YOU'RE TRYING TO UNDERSTAND HOW IT'S GOING TO ROLL,

BUT EVERYTHING IS JUST BACKWARDS.

YOU REALLY HAVE TO THINK THIS THROUGH.

WE DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S GOING TO DO HERE.

I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S GOING TO SWING WHERE I WANT IT TO.

[CREAKING]

THAT CAB IS SEPARATING RIGHT NOW.

[NARRATOR]: THE FORCE OF THE IMPACT

HAS TORN THE CAB LOOSE FROM ITS CHASSIS.

HOPEFULLY IT STAYS ON.

[KYLE]: THE CAB IS HELD BY A COUPLE OF BOLTS

THAT ARE NOT MEANT TO TAKE THAT MUCH STRESS,

SO IF SOMETHING BREAKS,

IT CAN SWING AT YOU OR THE TRUCK.

THAT'S A BIG GAP UP THERE.

YUP.

WATCH YOURSELF, GUYS.

WHOA!

THAT'S A BIG GAP UP THERE.

YUP.

[NARRATOR]: UNDER A RAMP TO THE 402...

WATCH YOURSELF, GUYS.

WHOA!

[NARRATOR]: GARY AND COLLIN

ARE STRUGGLING TO ROLL A TRACTOR WITHOUT TEARING IT APART.

IT'S GOING RIGHT INTO THE BACK OF THE TRUCK.

[CRUNCHING]

I JUST NEED TO GET THIS TO PINCH.

YOU GOT IT. IT'S COMING OVER.

HERE WE GO.

YOU CAN LET OUT ON EVERYTHING NOW.

IT SHOULD JUST DROP.

OKAY.

OKAY, LET'S GET THAT TRUCK IN THERE,

LET'S ROLL IT OVER.

[COLLIN]: IT WAS A LITTLE BIT TIGHTER THAN I WANTED IT TO BE

TO THE TRUCK,

BUT, UH, WE WORKED AROUND THAT.

[NARRATOR]: WITH THE TRACTOR STABLE ON ITS SIDE...

THEY CAN RE-RIG TO GET IT BACK ON ITS WHEELS.

LOW PULL OVER TO THAT ONE,

TWO LINES, PULL IT OVER.

OKAY, YOU READY?

HERE SHE COMES.

IT'S OVER!

NICE, GUYS!

GOOD JOB.

TEXTBOOK.

ONCE WE GOT IT FIGURED OUT.

FELL OVER LIKE I THOUGHT IT WOULD,

AND HOPEFULLY THE TRAILER DOES THE EXACT SAME THING.

[NARRATOR]: BUT THE TRAILER...

WILL BE A MUCH BIGGER PROBLEM.

[GARY]: COME BACK HERE,

WE'LL JUST WRAP AROUND THAT.

OKAY.

WE'LL DO A QUICK LIFT.

[NARRATOR]: THEY'LL LIFT

ON A LINE RIGGED TO THE TRAILER'S DECK,

AND PULL ON A STRAP RUNNING UNDER THE CORNER

TO ROLL THE TRAILER ONTO ITS WALL.

WE'LL JUST PULL ON IT,

IT'LL FALL ON ITS SIDE,

AND THEN WE CAN JUST RE-RIG

AND LIFT IT ALL THE WAY UP.

OKAY.

[NARRATOR]: BUT IT WON'T BEHAVE

LIKE ANY TRAILER THE CREW HAS RIGGED BEFORE.

MY WEIGHT IS GOING TO BE ALL UP TOP,

AS OPPOSED TO ON THE BOTTOM,

SO YOU JUST HAVE TO BE CAREFUL.

THIS IS SOMETHING THAT YOU HAVE TO THINK THROUGH

AND UNDERSTAND.

[NARRATOR]: THE TRAILER'S CENTRE OF GRAVITY

IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THAN IN A NORMAL PULL.

[GARY]: I CAN'T PREDICT EXACTLY HOW IT'S GOING TO REACT.

[COLLIN]: THIS TRAILER IS DEFINITELY TOP-HEAVY NOW.

IT'S GOING TO BE A BIT OF AN EXPERIENCE

GETTING THIS THING FLIPPED OVER.

IT'S GOOD!

LET'S LIFT IT UP.

WE'LL GET THE STRAP UNDERNEATH.

READY?

YEAH. GO AHEAD AND LIFT, COLL.

THERE WE GO, IT'S COMING UP.

-GOOD. -OKAY?

WE CAN GET THAT STRAP UNDER.

HOLD ON, HOLD ON, HERE.

THERE YOU GO, YOU GOT IT?

YEAH.

RIGHT ABOUT THERE, IT'S PERFECT.

NOW COLLIN'S GOING TO GRAB ON

WITH THE ROTATOR

AND ROLL IT RIGHT OVER.

WHOA!

OKAY.

[GARY]: COLLIN'S GOING TO OPERATE THE ROTATOR

ON THIS ONE.

I'M GOING TO STAND BACK.

I'M JUST WATCHING HOW THE TRAILER ACTUALLY REACTS.

[COLLIN]: A TRUCK UPSIDE-DOWN

IS SOMETHING THAT'S NEW TO EVEN MY DAD.

TO PUT ME ON THE CONTROLS,

HE HAS A LOT OF RESPECT AND TRUST IN ME.

[GARY]: IT'S NEAT TO SEE HOW EVERYTHING REACTS

WHEN YOU HAVE SOMETHING TOTALLY DIFFERENT

THAN YOU'VE EVER DONE BEFORE.

OKAY, IT'S TIME TO FINISH THIS.

THERE HE GOES.

TIGHTEN IT UP.

HOLD UP, COLL.

HOLD IT!

HEADS UP! WHOA!

OH!

HOLD UP, COLL.

HOLD IT!

HEADS UP! WHOA!

OH!

HOLY [BLEEP], THAT WAS CLOSE.

[NARRATOR]: ON THE EDGE OF HIGHWAY 40,

COLLIN'S UPSIDE-DOWN ROLL

HAS GONE WRONG.

[GARY]: I SEE THAT SWING,

I KNOW MY SON'S BACK THERE.

THAT'S MY THOUGHT, "WHERE IS HE?

IS HE OUT OF THE WAY?"

YOU'RE ALL RIGHT?

YEAH, I'M GOOD.

REALLY DON'T CARE ABOUT THE TRUCK,

I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE TRAILER ITSELF,

BUT THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH COLLIN.

HE'S OKAY.

IT WAS A DAMN CLOSE CALL.

[SIGHS]

[NARRATOR]: THE BULK OF THE WEIGHT

WAS SITTING OUT PAST THE END OF THE BOOM.

AS THE TRAILER ROLLED, IT SHIFTED TO THE SIDE,

PUSHING THE TRAILER BACK,

RIGHT INTO THE ROTATOR.

[GARY]: OUR BOOM ANGLE WASN'T RIGHT,

AND WHEN WE LIFTED IT,

IT SWUNG OVER.

WAY, WAY OVER.

[GARY]: IT WAS A WEIGHT AND BALANCE THING.

IT WAS A CRITICAL MISTAKE.

I SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE IT,

BUT...

I MISSED IT.

[NARRATOR]: AND HE STILL HAS A RECOVERY TO FINISH.

I THINK WE'RE GOING TO LEAVE IT RIGHT THERE, COLL.

OKAY.

[NARRATOR]: THE WEIGHT IS NOW DIRECTLY UNDER THE BOOM,

SO COLLIN CAN LIFT WHERE IT'S SITTING,

BUT WITH ONE MORE CRITICAL DIFFERENCE...

I SHOULD DO THIS,

BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT I SHOULD HAVE BEEN DOING

RIGHT FROM THE START.

[NARRATOR]: HE'LL USE THE REMOTE

AND TAKE HIMSELF WELL OUT OF THE TRAILER'S PATH.

[COLLIN]: THERE'S STILL A JOB TO BE DONE...

LET DOWN ON GREEN.

[COLLIN]: THIS THING'S NOT DONE

UNTIL IT'S ON THE ROAD AND OUT OF HERE.

OH, YOU ARE JUST...

I DON'T KNOW.

BUGGER. KEEP GOING.

I DON'T HAVE ANY MORE RED.

YEAH, YOU'VE GOT A LITTLE MORE, COLL,

KEEP GOING.

NOW LET OFF ON GREEN.

IT'S GONNA WANT TO SWING A BIT ON YOU.

SHOULD HAVE 'ER THERE NOW.

THERE WE GO.

[THUD]

NICE JOB, COLL.

THANK YOU.

YUP, SHE'S UPRIGHT.

THAT IS A GOOD THING.

[NARRATOR]: BUT TONIGHT, NOBODY'S CELEBRATING.

CALL THAT A WIN, BUT...

I'M NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT.

I CAN'T CHANGE IT,

JUST GOT TO MAKE SURE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN.

STRICTLY MY FAULT.

I SHOULD HAVE HAD YOU ON THAT REMOTE.

[SIGHING]

[GARY]: YOU KNOW, IT'S ALL DONE AND OVER WITH,

AND IT GIVES YOU A SECOND TO THINK ABOUT IT.

WE GOT LUCKY TONIGHT.

AS THE GUY THAT'S LEADING THAT RECOVERY,

AND IT'S MY SON,

UM... IT'S PRETTY HARD.

THIS IS A HARD ENOUGH JOB AS IT IS...

TO PUT MY SON IN THAT SITUATION IS TOUGH.

SOMETIMES A LEG SAVES A LIFE.

[GARY]: AS I'M PULLING THESE OUTRIGGERS BACK IN,

I REALIZE, YOU KNOW,

THERE'S THE DISTANCE RIGHT THERE

BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH.

THAT WAS OUR SAFETY ZONE.

THAT WAS ALL WE HAD LEFT.

ANYWAY, YOU DIDN'T GET HURT,

THAT'S THE MAIN THING, SO...

LET'S BRING IT HOME.

ALL RIGHT...

[COLLIN]: I THINK MY DAD'S PRETTY SHAKEN UP ON THAT ONE.

[SIGHS]

YEAH. THAT WAS A CLOSE ONE, BUT...

I'M STILL HERE, SO...

ONTO THE NEXT ONE.

WHEN YOU'RE OUT ON THESE WRECKS,

ANYTHING CAN AND WILL HAPPEN.

THE THINGS THAT YOU LEAST EXPECT WILL HAPPEN.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO HOME.

THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS, RISKY JOB.

THERE'S NO QUESTION, AND I KNOW THAT.

SO AS I LEAVE THIS SCENE, WE'RE GOING TO LEARN FROM IT,

AND THAT IS THE BIGGEST, AND CRUCIAL PART TO ME,

THAT WE LEARN FROM THIS.

[BLARES HORN TWICE]

WE DON'T NEED TO GO BOOM.

[NARRATOR]: ON THE SEASON FINALE

OF HEAVY RESCUE: 401...

WOW.

[NARRATOR]: ...COLLIN AND GARY...

COLLIN, START BRINGING YOURS.

[NARRATOR]: ...HEAD BACK INTO DANGER.

HOLD IT! HOLD IT!

WHOA!

GIVE ME 45 MINUTES.

45?

[NARRATOR]: IN THE HEART OF THE CITY...

DON'T STOP!

[NARRATOR]: ...PUSH COMES TO SHOVE...

-WHOA! -OKAY.

[SCHMIDT]: FREEZING RAIN, SNOW, AND SLUSH...

[NARRATOR]: ...AND A SPRINGTIME STORM...

[BUBBA]: GET THIS CLEAR SO HE CAN GET IN HERE.

[NARRATOR]: ...FREEZES BUBBA...

THIS IS KILLIN' US.

[NARRATOR]: ...IN HIS TRACKS.

ARE YOU FRICKING KIDDING ME?
