DAVE PETTITT (NARRATES): This time, on Heavy Rescue: 401...
It's a big mess to clean up.
..double trailers...
She's gonna be ugly.
..double destruction.
The report was saying that fuel is leaking.
It's a major hang-up...for the OPP.
All lanes are blocked right now.
Ready? CREW: Yeah!
And Duncan...
He's tipping himself over.
..gets stumped.
Whoa! Holy!
A massive mid-winter front
is pummelling the entire southern edge of Ontario.
Road crews from one end of the 401
to the other fight to keep up.
(AMBULANCE SIREN WAILS)
But drivers are struggling.
And the clean-up will last long into tomorrow.
Just before dawn,
at the south-western tip of the province...
..the snow has finally passed,
but a thick layer of ice still clings to the roads.
And on the E. C. Row expressway
in Windsor, it's a bad time for a car carrier to breakdown,
straddling a live lane.
After an intense day and a few hours of sleep...
OK, let's see what we got.
..Eric Godard is back on the job.
(CAR HORN HONKS)
What the (BLEEP) is wrong with people?
Probably about the worst place in the world to be,
but I kind of have no choice.
The highway's really getting slick.
People aren't gonna slow down, they're not gonna move over.
This thing is so low, I can't even get under it.
Car haulers ride low to give them more clearance up top.
Hang on.
Oh, you know what I got going on?
But right now, that's less clearance for Eric.
Well, he's got the driveshaft broke in the middle,
so it's digging into the ground,
so I can't even take it out of here until I get that under there
and get that shaft out.
And you make sure when you go in, you get under the centre right away,
'cause that's where the room is.
If it comes down, it's gonna be two inches,
three inches off the ground.
This sucks.
A guy my size, there's just no space there.
Holy!
God forbid that somebody rear-ends this damn thing.
On North America's busiest highway,
closure is not an option.
(THEME MUSIC)
(TRUCK HORN HONKS)
Watch your toes. Coming at you.
And here's the problem.
That's what was digging into the ground.
Eric's out from under the truck, but in these conditions...
he's still not out of danger.
Now, we got a car on the other side of the fricking expressway.
I'm just glad it happened on that side of the road
and not on my side, when I was under this truck.
Time to get off the expressway.
We got to tow it really low.
I didn't hook up brakes, I didn't hook up lights.
I didn't do anything. Nobody's slowing down.
I got some stuff to do, but we'll do it somewhere else.
Yeah.
The faster you can get out of there, the better it is.
OK, you ready?
Yeah. Let's do this.
It's going to be a real long day with the weather.
And the truth is I'll be back at it again in a few hours,
if we get that much time.
And just a few hours later...
..Eric rolls up east of Windsor in Tecumseh.
Just another day in the life!
Got a lot of sharp steel and metal,
so we're gonna cut some of that away.
Derek Didone Senior
and the entire County-Coxon heavy crew
are facing a double-semi recovery
that's shut down the entire westbound 401.
This is like the convertible style trailer we've got going on.
It's gonna be a lovely tow call.
After one transport loaded with auto parts stopped
on the edge of the highway, a second semi slammed into its side,
ripping both trailers wide open.
I've never seen that happen before in my life.
There's got to be a quarter of a kilometre of debris scattered
between the two trucks.
It's a big mess to clean up.
It's going to be ugly as hell really,
but there's no fast way to do it.
And we're doing everything we can to get this road back open
and we're a long way from that.
Four hundred and fifty miles away,
the eastern end of the 401 is still digging out from the storm.
And on the eastbound highway in Brockville...
..one semi driver made an unexpected detour.
It's sitting down in a hole,
so it's gonna be a bit of a challenge.
Getting it out
is up to Duncan Cooper from Cornwall Towing.
It's in the ditch.
And when I say in the ditch, like,
three tractor-trailer lengths in the ditch, into the trees,
which is just gonna make everything a lot harder for us.
She ain't a yard sale, boys, but I'll tell you what,
she's still gonna be a job.
So, 60 miles from home, Duncan's called in some local help.
Here we go.
..veteran operator John Campbell.
Just when I thought things were gonna be OK today,
this clown shows up.
(JOHN LAUGHS)
I've known Duncan for a number of years.
We've done a few jobs together.
He called, said he was doing one in my backyard, basically.
I was more than willing to help.
We'll take both the tow trucks.
Yep. And we'll...
Both wreckers will pull the front end over that way.
Oh, sure, yeah.
And Duncan's ready to get to work.
The plan here is we're gonna jack-knife
the front end of that truck straight out this way,
get it up onto the road.
But first, we're gonna have to do some landscaping
to get it out of here.
We're gonna cut down some trees!
They need clearance for the trailer to slide sideways.
(MACHINE WHIRRING)
There we go. Heads up, fellas.
(MACHINE WHIRRING)
Yay!
That should make life easier, unless we get stuck on that stump.
They'll hook three lines from both wreckers
to the front of the tractor,
pulling it so the trailer rotates and avoids getting caught
on the stump as it moves to the road.
The trailer's in perfect shape.
It's not broken.
So, we want to try and navigate around this stump,
not run into it and break something.
There we go.
Yeah, we're under the leaf spring and over the frame.
Yeah.
OK, fellas, grab a handful of cable.
A little more! OK?
Good! There!
Green line's on.
It's all aired up now,
so we're just going to bring it out at a nice angle.
Nice and slow.
Get it up on the shoulder of the road.
Ready? Ready?
Yup! Yup!
Give her.
There we go!
Keep her going, John!
Keep going?
Yeah.
Slow down.
OK, hold on.
The trailer isn't moving according to plan.
Put the trailer brakes on.
We need that trailer to skid now.
Yeah.
We want that trailer to turn.
Right now, it's trying to come ahead,
and we don't want it into the stump.
OK.
This stump being a pain in the ass,
just like every other stump.
How we making out with that stump?
Whoa, whoa. Hold!
That's it!
So right now, Duncan,
the front axle of that trailer is at that stump.
OK, so I got to go straighten sideways.
Yeah.
Last thing you want to do is get stumped by a stump job.
On the 401 just east of Windsor...
In front of the landing gear, find a spot.
..the County-Coxon crew needs to get westbound traffic moving.
So, they're prepping to clear both wrecks at the same time.
It's a pretty impressive collision.
It's something that you don't see very often.
And the only way really to conquer it
with any kind of speed is to work in separate crews.
We need that underskirt off there.
Derek Senior and Junior are leading
the team to recover the semi in the rear.
Hey, Dennis!
I'm grabbing a 36-foot strap.
Eric and Dennis are offloading
the trailer at the front of the scene.
I'm gonna walk it right around the whole pile.
One of the biggest challenges we're facing,
these totes are extremely heavy.
So, it'd be nice to unload from the side,
but unfortunately, we have to unload from the doors.
We're gonna try to pull this whole pile backwards,
and literally just offload three skids,
pull it some more, three skids.
We need the weight out of it in order to get
the thing back to the yard.
OK, we'll give that a try.
Up at the second wreck...
There's not a whole lot of structure in the trailer.
..Senior is facing a trailer ready to fall apart.
The biggest thing we got is you can see all the cross members
of the trailer are busted off.
So, this whole wall of the trailer
is completely detached from the floor.
They need to tow the trailer in one piece...
Come on in.
..but unless they can secure it, the semi won't survive the trip.
Can we do it belly?
So, Senior wants to create some instant rigging points.
Just run your strap underneath the trailer.
Yeah.
We can pop some holes in the side of the trailer
to hook the strap into.
Alright, let's tighten them up.
We've done this method before.
Sometimes it does not work.
I mean, the trailer could be too compromised.
What we're going to do is lift the centre of the trailer
and chain it to add some structure into the base of the trailer,
and just hope for the best.
Let's get the tractor up.
Got it?
Three hundred feet up the road...
Beautiful!
..they've emptied and separated the trailer,
and Eric's ready to hook up for the tow.
I'm banking on one good side being enough to hold it together
to get it back to the yard, but time will tell.
Hey, you good?
I'm all set, man.
OK.
I'm gonna go see what I can do down there.
OK.
Start yanking on her, then we'll see what'll happen.
Now, Senior will separate the units and find out
if his improvised strap support has any chance of success.
Well, this ain't gonna be pretty.
It could be an issue pulling the tractor out from these trailers
when they're badly damaged.
Easy...
You want to limit how much you're working with this trailer.
Easy.
You're almost off the plate.
Just we're losing so much structure in the trailer here.
OK, just crawl.
You're just gonna be on your frame rails here.
Little bit more.
Go.
The trailer is holding,
but hooking it to the wrecker will put added strain
on their patch job.
We're just gonna put the wrecker on it and see
if we can get her up high enough.
Go ahead.
Good?
Yup. Heads up, guys.
She's gonna be ugly.
I mean, all we got to do is keep it held up.
We're gonna have to run slow anyhow.
Yeah, we got everything hooked.
Ours is ready to go.
The final test for both trailers
will be when the wheels start rolling.
We've taken every possible step
to make it safe to get them off the highway,
but when you're talking this kind of damage,
there's only so many steps you can take.
We're all leaving.
We got trailer hanging out all over the place here.
We're still pretty unstable.
(TRUCK HORN HONKS)
We're just going to have to take our time,
and we should be OK to get to the yard, hopefully.
It's going down the road with this big bend in the middle.
It probably looks pretty scary to the average person.
God, these things are a mess.
It's a relief.
You get going down the road, everything's going good.
We don't really care that we have to go slow.
We're not gonna be breaking any speed records getting back
to the yard, but we'll get them back to the yard,
and that's the important part of the job right there.
You want to go around that.
OK.
At the other end of the 401, near Brockville...
And then we're just gonna make a loop with that.
Duncan is re-rigging to the back of the trailer in hopes
of diverting it away from the tree stump.
We got to get the back end over this way,
get it by that stump,
so we can continue on our path uphill.
It would be really, really awesome
if I could just get it from there, boom,
up to there, done deal.
Let me get a bite into her, John.
See if I can pull the side of the trailer
over this way a little bit, get past the stump, OK?
OK, let's see what happens here.
There we go.
Yay!
We're past the stump now.
Beauty!
Keep her going, John.
The trailer is free.
Now, they need it to follow
as they pull the tractor up to the road...
Uh-oh.
..but the tractor isn't moving.
We saw the wheels come up.
Come on!
The tractor's buried right down, like, in a hole.
There's a great deal of resistance there.
I don't like that.
Holy...!
I don't like that.
On the eastbound 401...
He's tipping himself over.
Holy...!
John Campbell is fighting some heavy resistance.
Too much of an angle, John?
I got too much of an angle!
It was a bit of a whoa, whoa, whoa moment.
You got to be careful.
Hold on, let me go back over here.
What's the plan?
I got to hook on the other side.
The angle is just pulling my truck around sideways.
OK.
It was too much resistance for the angle my truck was on.
Come on.
There we go.
With the new rigging in place, John's ready for another shot.
Here we go.
That's better.
But as they near the final stretch,
Duncan must pull the trailer sideways up the slope.
Keep going, keep going.
About the last 10 feet the trailer had to move,
it was coming up an embankment, gravity was starting to fight us,
and the trailer was trying to lean over.
That thing is a beast.
Look at that!
Oh, yeah!
That's pretty good there, gentlemen.
Just gonna drive ahead and pull
the whole thing out together, and get her set up, and go.
OK, everybody clear?
Yeah!
That's another one out of the ditch again.
Yup, there you go.
Watch out, Duncan!
You got to love it when a job goes like that.
It was a beauty.
I just got to hook it up and get 'hr home now.
We didn't do any more damage to any of the company's equipment.
As far as I'm concerned, it was good.
Alright.
Two hundred miles to the west,
the worst of yesterday's storm has blown through,
but its final traces are still hitting
the highways around Toronto.
Your best friend in this weather is slowing down,
giving yourself some space,
100 kilometres an hour on snow-covered roads,
you just can't respond the same to anything that happens.
OPP Constable John Jameson
sees plenty of warning signs for drivers.
Drive around in this weather, car in the ditch,
car in the ditch, car in the ditch everywhere.
And so that should be a clue to slow down,
but then you see somebody else
coming along trying to set a land speed record.
But just west of the GTA, in Hamilton...
..nobody is moving on the eastbound 403.
OK, 10-4. I'm making my way.
(SIREN WAILS)
So, the report was that the fuel is leaking,
so we want to get there and get it dealt with.
Here we go.
You can see there's pretty significant backup of traffic.
It's up to John to help manage
the scene and reduce the impact of the closure.
And we're here.
That's a scary ride.
Is everybody OK?
Yeah, everyone's fine.
Alright.
It's not a huge spill, but it's enough to be problematic.
We can't open this road up with the fuel sitting there.
One hundred and twenty miles southwest,
another blast of winter is bearing down on Highway 402.
Everybody's going pretty hard.
Lots of things going on.
We've got Kyle and Collin, they're both out on other jobs.
I'm the last guy left.
So, Gary Vandenheuvel is answering this call on his own.
Sounds like we got a couple trucks that have spun out.
I'm not sure what we're into,
but we'll find out when we get there.
Today, Gary's bandages are off after a long recovery
from a severe hand injury.
OK, so grab a seat.
You did have a pretty significant fracture.
OK.
You're not gonna make a fist tomorrow.
It's gonna be gradual, right?
Just a couple of weeks ago,
Gary was still fighting to get back his mobility
after making slow progress.
I'm gonna push the limits, I know that.
Yes, and that's gonna be my job to make sure
he doesn't overdo it,
because this does not need to go backwards.
It needs to go forward.
It's been a battle for Gary and his wife, Tammy,
the co-owner of Preferred Towing.
Gary's injury has changed the way we all think.
This is a dangerous job,
and this really brought that back into reality for us.
Now, Gary's heading solo into a double recovery.
Gonna try to keep up.
Got to clear up these couple accidents
as quick as we can.
Gary pulls up in front of the first casualty,
a garbage hauler spun out on the edge of the highway...
..with a second semi visible just a few hundred feet away.
Just taking a look here.
(SIGHING)
Took this guardrail and it just peeled it back like a banana.
He's in pretty good here.
This is a fully loaded garbage hauler.
These things weigh in at about 140,000 pounds.
They don't get much heavier than this.
It's into the guard rail, leaning a little bit in.
And any time you're dealing with that kind of weight,
there is challenges behind that.
Slide the front of this tractor over first,
that's my first goal.
Gary hooks one line to the truck's tow pin,
hoping to swing it away from the guardrail.
It's gonna be a bit of a challenge.
This thing's got a pretty good lean under it,
'cause I can get my hands underneath the tires already,
so that's telling me how much pressure
and force is going that way.
The last thing I need here
is this thing to tip over as I'm going out.
Hopefully it'll come off the guardrail.
Come on, roll out.
She's not working.
It's sliding the truck.
Pretty clear this thing's not budging.
That guardrail is got a real good hold on this truck.
Well, this one's not giving up without a fight.
I got another job down the road.
We got to get that out.
I want to get off this highway.
Don't want to be out here any longer than we have to.
Every day is a challenge here at Preferred Towing,
and today's no different.
On the eastbound 403...
..a heavy crew is lifting the jack-knife off of the guardrail.
There we go!
For John Jameson, managing the scene,
it's the first step toward reopening the highway.
A lot of people inconvenienced by the closure here.
There's only one lane getting through in the shoulder.
But John needs to shut it all down so the spill clean-up crew
can access the scene.
We're just gonna stop the traffic.
It's a necessary step to remove
the diesel and allow all lanes to reopen.
We just need to bring a truck in the wrong way.
Just stay here, don't move, OK?
Just advising all lanes are blocked right now momentarily.
The vacuum truck here, they're cleaning up the spill,
what's left of it, and the repair guys are here,
and they're fixing the guardrail.
OK, just go nice and slow, and steady through there.
You see where you're going, right?
Thanks for your patience. I appreciate it.
As one lane starts to flow, the rest won't be far behind.
We do our best to keep the roads open.
Unfortunately sometimes
road closure's required to open the road in a safe manner.
Snow's coming back in again, so I want to get off this highway.
Don't want to be out here any longer than we have to.
Back on the 402 east of Sarnia...
OK, I see Collin coming up now.
..Gary's double wreck is too much for a single operator.
Luckily, some backup just became available.
And Kyle's here as well.
Collin and Kyle, they've arrived.
I know that Kyle's got the chop saw in hand.
Now, I can work a little bit easier.
It's amazing how much resistance
one little piece of aluminium.
Oh, it's just been fighting me.
OK, let's fire up the chop saw,
cut this here, let's see what that does.
(MACHINE REVS)
Collin, I'm gonna send you up to that other one.
OK.
Let's start cutting a little bit here.
Is that other one loaded or is he empty?
I have no idea what you've got up there, so...
COLLIN OK.
If you want to head that way, get that one going.
It's yours. Sounds good.
My dad's put me in charge of getting this one out,
and it's just me on this one.
This one's fully loaded with auto parts.
All the weight's up high.
Truck's sunk in right to the axles.
So, I'm fighting mud, I'm fighting snow,
I'm fighting weight on this one.
It's gonna put up a pretty good fight with my truck,
but a good one to put my knowledge
to the test and show my dad what I can do.
But Collin's operating a straight wrecker,
making the sideways pull an extreme challenge.
Yeah, just fun.
Five hundred feet up the road...
Not much holding that on.
There, it's off.
..Kyle and Gary have cut through the guardrail...
That might give me a little bit more to pull now.
..removing as little as possible
while allowing room for the truck to clear.
I'd try it. What do you got to lose?
Yep.
I'm gonna put a snatch block in this right here,
see if I can get it to pull back.
OK.
Pull tight, guys.
OK.
Make sure it doesn't get into that fuel tank, eh?
We don't want anything to happen to that fuel tank.
There's 150 gallons of diesel fuel that's gonna run into the ditch,
so we cannot have that.
OK, ready? Yeah.
OK, I'll watch you from here.
Let's give her a shot.
Little more.
Wow, that's precision cutting, Kyle.
Beautiful!
It came apart.
But the main event is still ahead,
wrestling 140,000 pounds sideways onto the road.
OK, we'll get you in position, just bring you back up into here.
OK.
And they'll need a clear path.
(GROANS) Come on now!
You got to watch under here.
I don't want to be tearing off airlines.
There's stuff under this trailer that we didn't see before.
We don't want it to cut an airline, or cut a tire,
and make our job more difficult.
OK, let's get a couple pieces of block,
and we'll walk over top of that.
We're just gonna build ourselves a little wood bridge here.
With so much weight working against them,
Gary can't afford any problems on the hauler's way out.
Alright.
Down the highway,
Collin's rigging up for his own tough pull.
So right now,
what I'm doing is I'm setting up to do
a side pull on this truck.
My dad's put me in charge of getting this one out,
so I'm hoping I might actually be able to pull this thing sideways.
Working with a single wrecker,
Collin will use one high line to winch the truck sideways,
and a second to hold the trailer upright as it moves.
I'm gonna be attempting to do this all with one truck here.
It's gonna be a pretty tough pull.
I don't really like pulling off the rims, but hopefully,
once it breaks resistance with the mud,
it should roll pretty freely,
and it should be a lot less of a pull.
And conditions on the road are rapidly getting worse.
Ah, someone slid out on the other side.
Car went in the ditch over there.
This stuff is really pulling people all around the road,
and we got to be really careful.
Can I get you to fire it up here?
Release the brakes on just this, and put it in neutral for me?
So, this is a pretty hard pull on this rim sling.
They're not rated for a whole heck of a lot,
and there's a lot of weight here that we're dealing with.
Right now the trailer's still up on the roadway partially,
and we want to keep it that way.
Come on, baby, work for me.
Come on.
I'm putting a pretty good hard pull on this thing right now.
I've got my truck itself sliding.
I'm hoping to get some bite here,
but I'm also hoping that I don't over pull.
I'm just concerned here.
I don't want to break anything on this truck.
Just get him up and out of that hole.
Come on, just sit.
(BANGS)
Come on, just sit.
East of Sarnia on the 402.
Collin's sideways pull...
(COLLIN GROANS)
..has gone sideways.
Just pulled too hard on the strap.
I knew, I should've rethought that, but...
Yeah.
And all I got was about six inches out of this stupid thing.
(GROANS)
I knew it was way over its limits, and I pushed it.
And I'm very fortunate
that the strap pretty well dropped right away.
It didn't hit anyone, it didn't hit anything.
You know, lesson learned.
(COLLIN GROANS)
Just like his father,
Collin has to accept when it's time to ask for help.
Well, it weighs about 86,000 pounds, and I can't budge it.
Alright. Thank you.
I want to get this done so I can get down the road
and give Collin a hand.
I'll keep an eye on it as it comes out.
Yeah, we're gonna be in a world of hurt here trying
to get this out, if I start breaking stuff,
pulling this truck out.
Gary and Kyle are rigged up and ready to pull 70 tons
of garbage hauler onto the road.
Gary will pull forward,
while Kyle holds the trailer upright.
We don't want it going down into the ditch,
we want it coming the other way.
OK.
I'll give it a little pull, just get it coming our way.
With it. Yeah. Just walk with me.
OK.
OK, let's get her up on the road.
Come on.
They're depending on the wood blocks
as a buffer against the metal debris.
Kyle, am I just going over that?
Yep, it's coming.
Good, good.
Good? Yup.
OK.
That one make it?
Good sign.
OK, Kyle, we'll let off there.
You got it.
OK, we got this one finished up.
Looks like the driver is gonna be able to drive this one out
under its own power, so that's good.
I'm gonna run up the road.
We got to get this highway opened up.
Definitely a nice feeling seeing my dad roll up here,
'cause I need the help.
What do you got going? Just won't move for you?
I moved it all about six inches, and that's it.
Everything's heavy and loaded today, isn't it?
Mm-hmm.
I think he's a little bummed out.
I think he was hoping to get it out on his own,
but sometimes these big ones,
weighing in at 80,000, high load, they'll fight you.
So, not much you can do.
Two-truck job.
Maybe if we can get in here,
one truck here, start pulling a little bit this way,
one truck on the front.
Yeah. See what it does.
The plan is to use my truck still on the front,
and then the rotator is going
to be the one supporting the trailer.
Hopefully break that suction free and get this thing rolling.
They need a hard enough pull to wrench it free of the frozen mud,
but with a top-heavy load inside, there's a limit.
We've got to get that resistance of trying to get it out of the mud,
but we don't want to pull too hard,
because obviously we don't want this thing to roll over.
You ready?
OK, let's give it a shot, Coll.
If we're not careful here,
we could actually risk flipping this trailer over
and taking the whole unit with it.
OK, Coll, there you go.
There we go.
The trailer's rear end keeps lifting,
wheels come off the ground every time we pull.
Whoa.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, stop!
The trailer is actually starting kick out on us.
We're running the risk of flipping it now.
And I'm gonna let go here, Coll.
Set her back down on the ground.
Yeah, I think I can get it from here.
OK.
I'll grab the ass end of it now, and then start pulling it around.
Yeah.
With the suction of the mud broken,
Gary will now try to direct the trailer sideways
while Collin pulls forward.
It's gonna put up a pretty good fight.
Coll, you ready? Yup.
She's just sliding back into the ditch.
Is it?
I need you to pull a bit more.
OK.
Ah, there we go.
It's looking good so far.
Almost there.
I think we're good.
OK.
Little bit of a struggle today.
Yeah.
Definitely a lot harder of a job than I originally expected.
Thought I could do it with one truck.
With Collin doing these jobs, he's learning.
He's gonna struggle on some of them.
That's all good.
You know, it's always nice to be able to do a job by yourself,
but sometimes you do have to call your limits and know
when to call in for assistance.
It's nice to know the kid still needs me once in a while.
Maybe if I had a 65-ton rotator myself,
I'd be able to do this.
It's time to get out of here. This is enough for today.
The next morning, Gary's off of the highway...
Wow, these are scissors!
(LAUGHTER)
..joining Tammy to offer a different kind of help.
After years of work,
it's the official opening of the youth housing project
she spearheaded.
Whoo!
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERS)
It feels tremendous.
It's like having a dream come true.
We have seven units, three of them are one-bedrooms,
and four of them are two-bedrooms.
Everything they need. Yep.
Tammy's drive to help in her community runs deep.
When I was younger, I was homeless.
I know how it felt, and I don't want to see any other youth suffer.
So, three years ago...
Ready? Yup.
One, two, three!
..she and Gary took the first steps to turn her vision into reality.
Everything has to be gutted and a little bit of redesigning,
but it will be a pretty awesome place
for youth who are needing the support.
Whoo!
Good job.
Take a moment just to look around.
There's groceries for you guys out there.
It's an incredible opportunity
for them to have a safe space.
It's life-changing for them.
Oh, my gosh, it's like... Oh, my gosh.
Yeah, like I said, it's like a dream in a way.
Tammy had a different lifestyle growing up than I did.
To be able to overcome that, it's pretty amazing.
It takes a really strong person to be able to come through that
and do what she's done.
She's my hero for doing this.
(CHUCKLES) You're my hero.
Believe it or not,
we got cars in the ditch this morning,
so I have to go back out.
