1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:04,760
Wow, what a mess!
This time on Heavy Rescue 401...
2
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:06,400
It's a big hole.
3
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:08,880
..a leaking trailer...
That's a problem.
4
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:10,760
Let's make a wall beside these guys!
5
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:14,120
..spurs on the OPP.
Come on, guys! Hurry up!
6
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:15,680
Kevin races...
7
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:18,040
OK.
..to keep a promise.
8
00:00:18,080 --> 00:00:19,920
Adam, get that line tight!
9
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:21,280
..and a beat-up semi...
10
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:22,800
Now comes the fun part.
11
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:23,840
..beats up...
12
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:25,400
Hey, nobody move!
13
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,480
..a new team.
Hey, whoa, whoa!
14
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:39,680
An hour before sunrise...
15
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:45,480
..traffic around Toronto is
still light, and moving well.
16
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:54,280
But on the 401, trouble can erupt...
17
00:00:57,720 --> 00:00:59,080
..in an instant.
18
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:02,640
(SIREN)
19
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,520
We just got a call for a
multi-vehicle collision
20
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:07,920
Highway 401 eastbound.
21
00:01:07,960 --> 00:01:11,040
Sergeant Kerry Schmidt answers the
call
22
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,560
50 miles
to the east, in Newcastle.
23
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,560
This collision appears to
be three commercial vehicles.
24
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,920
We have one confirmed fatality.
25
00:01:23,960 --> 00:01:27,160
A tragic situation we're dealing
with here right now,
26
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:28,560
and a major scene.
27
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,960
401 eastbound is blocked at Mill
Street,
28
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,840
and this is just as the morning
commuters
29
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,480
are heading
out and heading into the city.
30
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:41,960
The detour routes just don't have
the capacity
31
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,760
to accommodate that kind of traffic
volume.
32
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,800
As Kerry approaches...
33
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,200
Orillia, five, tango, zero, zero,
seven, you can mark me on scene.
34
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,160
..daylight reveals the full picture.
35
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,240
Several tractor trailers
involved,
36
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,960
so expect this to be ongoing for
quite some time.
37
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:02,960
Good area to avoid, if you can.
38
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,360
The tanker and box truck
collided,
39
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,560
forcing the semi to jack-knife into
the ditch.
40
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,960
All traffic's getting forced off.
41
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,520
The scene covers the entire highway.
42
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:23,400
Wow, what a mess!
43
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,600
But clearing the scene
will have to wait.
44
00:02:30,640 --> 00:02:32,160
Trying to get to the scene.
45
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,640
We have witnesses on scene as well.
46
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,160
This is a big collision,
a big wreck, and sadly,
47
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,080
it ended up as a fatality as well.
48
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,440
The first thing I want to kinda
figure out is
49
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,320
where this collision occurred.
50
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:46,720
Yeah.
51
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:50,160
So, collision reconstructionists
need to piece together
52
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,200
exactly what happened.
53
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:56,400
You want to collect the information
to be able to have the answers
54
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,400
that the families are gonna
be so desperate to have.
55
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,560
Whether it was on the shoulder or
whether it was in the live lane.
56
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,160
We only have one opportunity
to collect this evidence,
57
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,600
right then and there, before
the vehicles are moved.
58
00:03:09,640 --> 00:03:13,200
And with two semis and a smaller
truck involved,
59
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:18,520
the damage and debris
they need to analyse is extensive.
60
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,800
So that box...was actually
mounted to the chassis?
61
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,200
The box was on... Correct.
62
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,440
I've never seen a box like that
come right off the chassis
63
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:27,840
and stay with the, uh...
64
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:29,760
No.
..the vehicle.
65
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:32,840
Not only is there damage to the
front end
66
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:34,080
from colliding into the delivery
truck,
67
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:35,680
we also
have damage to the trailer,
68
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:40,360
which is now leaking pelletised
product inside that trailer,
69
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,560
which is now spilling out onto the
highway.
70
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,680
This is like plastic pellets?
71
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:46,480
Yeah, that's my
understanding what it is.
72
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,960
Officers that are there are working
as quickly as they can
73
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,000
to collect this evidence...
74
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:53,600
Oh, wow!
75
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,080
..but it's gonna take some time.
76
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:11,440
On North America's busiest
highway, closure is not an option.
77
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,440
Your travels on the 401 near
Newcastle
78
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,480
could be very complicated for the
next little while.
79
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:28,480
Of course we'll keep you
posted on when any lanes reopen.
80
00:04:32,840 --> 00:04:34,640
With all eastbound
lanes shut down...
81
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:37,760
We're heading down to have
a look at the accident scene
82
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,200
and see what's gonna be
required to do the clean-up.
83
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:45,040
..Bill and Mitch Wright of B&G Towing
inch their way up the shoulder,
84
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:46,680
and get their first look.
85
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,200
That is nasty.
86
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,160
Wow!
Geez!
87
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,400
Oh, the cab of that
truck is absolutely mangled.
88
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:55,480
There's nothing left of it.
89
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:01,520
They'll be joining forces with
veteran op John Allen from Abrams.
90
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,040
Pretty messy wreck, you know?
91
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,600
The one truck's all destroyed,
the box is ripped right off.
92
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,640
So, you know, quite the impact.
93
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,960
And reconstructionists have now
collected all the information
94
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:16,720
they can to start
figuring out just how it happened.
95
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,160
The investigators have documented
the critical evidence that needs
96
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,040
to be done before vehicles are
moved.
97
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:24,520
Take one of John's chains.
98
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,360
I'd go right around that leaf
spring.
99
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,120
Time to clear this road.
100
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:31,680
We gotta open the highway.
101
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,480
We gotta get this highway
open as quick as possible.
102
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,760
OK, right there?
Yeah, right around the frame.
103
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,200
So, the two companies
will split up the scene.
104
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:40,760
Alright, that's snug.
105
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,320
We're going to back the 35-ton in,
106
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,440
and get the little cab and chassis
out of the way.
107
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,640
We gotta move it so John can get
access to the Steinman truck
108
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:05,680
and get it outta here.
109
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,240
It's pretty ugly.
110
00:06:11,280 --> 00:06:12,720
Pick 'er up, Russ.
111
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:15,960
We got her.
112
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:24,000
As one member of Bill's crew hauls
off what's left of the box truck...
113
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,080
Do you want to go
and have a look at that?
114
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:30,440
..Mitch needs to size up
the biggest challenge on this scene.
115
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,840
The tanker-trailer has a breach.
It's leaking under the back.
116
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:38,280
Until they can deal with the leak,
they can't move the truck.
117
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,000
It's just little plastic pellets.
118
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:41,960
I don't even know exactly what the
use is for.
119
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,840
It looks like snow, though.
120
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:44,880
They seemed very light.
121
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:46,840
In large quantities,
they're very, very heavy.
122
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,360
The load itself is in
excess of 70,000 pounds.
123
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,160
Yeah, we got a hole down in here.
124
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,520
We're gonna either have to get
this hole plugged up,
125
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,000
or we're gonna have to offload this
load.
126
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:56,080
If we have to offload this,
127
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:57,800
we're gonna be here a very long
time.
128
00:06:57,840 --> 00:07:00,320
We just gotta get a rag
stuffed up in this hole here.
129
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,760
That looks like it stopped the leak.
130
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,880
One rag did her!
OK.
131
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:08,160
There's a hole about this big.
132
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:09,960
As far as we're concerned,
we've got it patched.
133
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:11,160
Oh, perfect.
134
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,480
I'm gonna get this out up on the
shoulder and drag it over here.
135
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,080
On the south side of the road,
136
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:24,640
John's rigged up and ready
to pull out the jack-knife.
137
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:35,720
It's a pretty simple job.
138
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:38,600
You know,
we want to be quick, efficient,
139
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:39,720
everything hooked up,
140
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,720
everything cleaned up and out of
here as quick as we can
141
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:46,360
to get this highway reopened.
This is our major artery.
142
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,640
The quicker I can get up
outta the way, the better.
143
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,240
Push the box off the front of
that truck if you can, please.
144
00:07:56,280 --> 00:08:01,360
Across the highway, Bill and Mitch
have wrangled the box free from
145
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:06,920
the tanker where it was embedded,
but it's revealed severe damage...
146
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,400
Fifth wheel assembly that hooks the
truck to the trailer
147
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:10,960
is entirely ripped off the frame.
148
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,560
We're gonna have to get the trailer
elevated to get the truck out.
149
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:18,440
..and as they elevate the tanker...
150
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,160
And it's leaking like
a sieve right now.
151
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,160
You got a big breach back there.
No, I don't think so.
152
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,160
No, I think it's just coming out
as we take some weight off of it.
153
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:26,480
I could be wrong.
154
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,120
I walk around
the other side of the tanker,
155
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:31,320
just to have a quick look...
156
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,000
Oh.
157
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,240
We got a way bigger leak than we
thought.
158
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:38,440
Oh, God!
159
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,720
A couple rags
ain't gonna fill that one.
160
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:44,680
..there's a second
leak, and it's much worse.
161
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,360
That's a problem.
162
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,000
We got a breach about this big.
Where?
163
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,920
The other side.
Let's have a look.
164
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:52,240
This is not what we needed.
165
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,240
Unloading the entire trailer due to
a hole
166
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,120
is going to increase the recovery
time for several hours.
167
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:58,520
OK. It's not small.
168
00:08:58,560 --> 00:09:00,360
Under the truck on the other
side above the frame?
169
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:01,960
Yeah.
This long.
170
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,120
Well, now we have a complication.
171
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:05,960
We thought we had just the one hole
on the trailer...
172
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:07,680
Can you fix it?
That wide.
173
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,400
You can't patch it.
We thought you were patched up.
174
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,880
When you give the OPP an ETA to
get the highway cleared up,
175
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:15,080
you try to stand by that,
176
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,240
so to have to go back up to the OPP
and explain to them
177
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,520
that the job's gonna take longer...
OK.
178
00:09:19,560 --> 00:09:22,160
..it sucks, but unfortunately,
it's what we have to do.
179
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,080
Can we go up and in with
plywood and twist it?
180
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:25,320
I'm gonna try something.
181
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:26,680
I'm going to screw around with it
right now...
182
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,280
We've gotta get the second hole
plugged
183
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:29,640
in order to move the trailer.
184
00:09:29,680 --> 00:09:31,880
We said... We thought you were
now gonna drag it off the highway.
185
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:33,960
We were going to do
the offload off the highways,
186
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:35,120
so, like, can you find...
187
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,400
Yeah, we can get some ratchet
straps, plywood, we'll do something.
188
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:38,880
Yeah. Yeah, just strap it up.
189
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:40,080
So, none of this would fit?
190
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,360
I don't think so, no, 'cause
it's such an awkward shaped hole.
191
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,640
You gotta kinda just be quick,
and think on your toes,
192
00:09:44,680 --> 00:09:46,680
and try to figure out
different ways to make things work.
193
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,320
We're gonna get a piece of
this curtain cut open,
194
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,880
and we're gonna actually use it to
try to fix the breach
195
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,160
that we have in the side of the
trailer, and then close
196
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:57,360
that hole up temporarily.
197
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,680
Kinda doing with what we got right
now.
198
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:01,520
We gotta get the highway opened up.
199
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,080
As fast as you can move it,
it comes out.
200
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,560
What is that right there?
201
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,600
That piece hanging down,
that's not a tear, is it?
202
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:17,800
I can fit my whole (BLEEP) arm in
there. It's a big hole. I can't...
203
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,080
I don't even think I'm gonna
get anything jammed up in there.
204
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,720
We're starting to get
some impatient people here.
205
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,160
We've got to get this done.
There's no way to patch it.
206
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,280
The more I keep screwing with it,
the more it's coming out.
207
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:28,600
It's just gonna make a bigger mess.
208
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,360
As fast as you can move it,
it comes out.
209
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:42,440
On the 401 east of Toronto...
It's a big hole.
210
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:47,000
..Bill and Mitch Wright are
facing a leak too big to contain.
211
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:48,840
That's a big hole.
Oh, yeah.
212
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:50,920
I don't even think I'm gonna get
anything jammed up in there.
213
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,600
Did you get that patched?
There's no way to patch it.
214
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,080
We have to transfer it off.
215
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,640
Unfortunately, we're gonna
have to unload the product.
216
00:10:59,680 --> 00:11:01,480
You have to... OK.
Yeah.
217
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,480
So, we
need a vacuum truck here now.
218
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,680
It's leaking out, and we
can't drag it down the highway.
219
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,360
But an offload will cost them hours.
220
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,840
The road's been closed for a long
time. We've got massive backups.
221
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:17,840
You know, there's a ton of pressure
to get the highway opened up.
222
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,160
So, while they wait
for the vacuum truck...
223
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,960
Can you get the MTO to
start working on a taper?
224
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,320
If we can open up one lane here,
we'll get some traffic flowing.
225
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,280
..Kerry needs to let
some traffic through.
226
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,400
Right now all the traffic is getting
forced off onto a side road,
227
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,200
and the roads
are absolutely jammed.
228
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:37,400
When we find these complications,
229
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,480
it's frustrating to know that
this is gonna take even longer.
230
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,240
We want to get the traffic moving.
231
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:46,280
If the police and maintenance crew
can create a rolling block,
232
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:50,160
using their own vehicles to lead
traffic and limit the speed,
233
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,960
they can merge it into a single open
lane...
234
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:55,160
One lane will be open,
235
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,040
and that will at least alleviate
some of the pressure,
236
00:11:58,080 --> 00:11:59,920
and allow traffic
to start getting through the scene.
237
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:05,080
..and the offload
itself can finally begin.
238
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,520
We got the truck and trailer
showing up now
239
00:12:07,560 --> 00:12:09,400
that we're gonna offload this unit
into.
240
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,880
It's got a big vac hose we're
going to drop in the top,
241
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,040
so we're gonna get him pulled in
here nice and tight,
242
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:15,400
and then I'm gonna get up on there,
243
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:16,960
and feed
the tube down through the hole.
244
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:20,440
Get up there.
Yep.
245
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,480
Take it down to the front, 'cause
he's gotta do the front compartment.
246
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,640
OK, we're into the product now.
Yeah.
247
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,280
Is that as fast as that'll come?
248
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,520
Pick it up, and I'll straighten it.
249
00:12:36,560 --> 00:12:37,880
OK, one sec...
250
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:44,760
You put it too deep, it plugs.
251
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:48,720
You don't go deep enough, it doesn't
suck, so constantly working it.
252
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:52,920
We have a four-inch hose, and we've
got 70,000 pounds of little beads,
253
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:54,960
so it's a slow process.
254
00:12:59,920 --> 00:13:02,320
We're gonna be rolling up ahead
shortly soon.
255
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:03,960
OK, 10-4 on that.
256
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:08,560
Let's just make a wall beside these
guys all together, one big wall.
257
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,640
As the offload starts,
258
00:13:10,680 --> 00:13:14,160
Kerry and the maintenance crew are
ready to get traffic rolling.
259
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:15,480
Let's go.
260
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:21,840
We're gonna just keep the traffic
back
261
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:25,520
just a couple hundred metres
until you guys get established.
262
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,800
They need to slowly and
safely funnel
263
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,920
three lanes of stuck
traffic into one open lane.
264
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,920
The last thing we want is for people
to take chances and take risks,
265
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,320
and put
people's lives in jeopardy.
266
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,240
You can see all the traffic
rolling in behind us now.
267
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,520
We're going to move all the traffic
up to the collision scene,
268
00:13:52,560 --> 00:13:54,280
where we still have two left lanes
blocked,
269
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,000
but
at least we'll have one lane open.
270
00:13:57,560 --> 00:13:59,320
There goes the traffic!
271
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,480
The move will relieve some of the
backup,
272
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,480
but it
comes with a price...
273
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,000
It takes some pressure off to let
some of the cars go through
274
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:08,040
and get things moving,
275
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,760
but now we have live traffic going
through a scene where we're working,
276
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:13,480
so, you know,
now the danger aspect goes up.
277
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:16,000
We're gonna be sucking for a while.
278
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,440
..and soon tens of
thousands of drivers
279
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,800
will start flooding out of the city.
280
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,160
We're gonna have to unload
this as fast as we can.
281
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:45,680
90 miles northwest...
282
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:54,520
..a rollover is choking Highway 11
down to a single northbound lane.
283
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:58,560
Tractor-trailer was southbound on
Highway 11.
284
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:00,640
For an unknown reason,
the driver lost control,
285
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,080
and it ended up on its side in the
ditch.
286
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:04,800
We could be closed
for another six hours.
287
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,840
The southbound semi ploughed through
the median into the opposite lanes,
288
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,200
across oncoming traffic,
289
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:17,760
before it smashed through the
guardrail into a farmer's field.
290
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:20,720
I got my work boots on.
291
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:22,960
I'm just waiting for him first.
292
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:27,760
And Classic Towing's rotator is on
scene to get it back on the road.
293
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,520
He's gonna make the first
major pull right now.
294
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:34,400
And this winter, Phil Barron
is taking over the controls.
295
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:38,240
OK, cool.
296
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:39,680
That's lots, man.
297
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:43,160
I've been working for Classic
for probably the last three years.
298
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:44,800
Before that, Metro
for a year,
299
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:48,040
and before that,
Abrams for seven years.
300
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:49,760
That's about it. I love my job.
301
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:55,320
This year, he's moved up to Classic's
75-ton flagship,
302
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:59,240
the most powerful
rotator in southern Ontario...
303
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:03,440
The truck that I'm in now
is James Ireland's old truck,
304
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,720
and then he left to open his
own business,
305
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:09,160
and then Bubba drove it, and then he
decided to move on,
306
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:12,760
so I "graduated" into it,
I guess you want to say,
307
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:14,960
and I've been having a lot
of fun with it.
308
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:17,160
Try to be careful.
309
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,440
..but the senior role is
a major responsibility.
310
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,240
There is pressure when you get
into a rotator.
311
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:24,840
The truck's more expensive,
312
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:29,080
and if you do something wrong when
you're lifting something heavy,
313
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,520
there's all kinds of
ways to damage the vehicle.
314
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,640
I can pull the back a little
bit more and see what it does.
315
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:38,160
Today, the 75-ton is in for
maintenance,
316
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,880
so Phil's working
with Classic's smaller 60-ton.
317
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:43,400
We'll give it a shot.
Yeah.
318
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:49,760
He's joined Tyler Woll and Pat
Luck from Lucky's Towing.
319
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:53,680
It's the two crews' first time
working tandem on a recovery.
320
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:55,080
We need to work together.
321
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,320
We need to stay on the same page.
322
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,240
He's gotta watch me just as
much as I've gotta watch him.
323
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:02,360
He says go ahead.
324
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:07,960
OK, he's going.
325
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:09,360
Their first step...
326
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:15,200
Just pulling the semi away from the
trees to assess the damage.
327
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:16,960
How's it looking now, Pat?
328
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,240
We still got two trees
up right into it, Tyler.
329
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,920
Can you pull this
front around some more?
330
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,400
If the trailer's intact,
331
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:30,680
they can upright it loaded, shaving
hours off the closure.
332
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:33,760
OK, how's that?
333
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:37,680
I think we can work with that.
How's that roof looking?
334
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:41,640
Not good.
It's not the news they wanted.
335
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:44,040
She's ripped wide open.
336
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,760
Oh, yeah. Once we pulled it back
from the trees,
337
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,520
we saw there was an awful lot of
damage to the side of the trailer.
338
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,920
I don't know if we're
gonna get it upright.
339
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,800
Try and stand it? See what happens?
340
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:02,320
Yeah.
If it's loaded, it's a real risk.
341
00:18:02,360 --> 00:18:05,000
You can have a lot of problems
if you try to pull it upright.
342
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,440
The trailer can snap in half.
343
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,240
Just grab me that chain.
344
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,440
That eight-footer?
That eight-footer, yeah.
345
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,800
With 5,000 to
10,000 pounds of cargo,
346
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,440
Phil is willing to take a chance.
347
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,960
We're gonna try to stand
it up in the ditch here now.
348
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,760
I'm coming off the rim up here
as high as I can get.
349
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:26,960
There we go.
350
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:30,560
I don't know what it's gonna
do,
351
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,600
so I just wanna make sure the
trailer doesn't twist...
352
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,280
Oh, yeah.
..or have a problem.
353
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,200
We'll do our best to get
it up all in one piece.
354
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,440
If you twist it too much, you'll
just rip it the rest of the way.
355
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:45,560
Yeah, you can start going.
356
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:48,240
We're good.
357
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,440
OK, you're clear of the tree now,
you're good.
358
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,280
Keep going, keep going.
359
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,080
I pretty much am
rolling it with this.
360
00:18:58,120 --> 00:18:59,880
So just keep a
little tension to it.
361
00:18:59,920 --> 00:19:00,960
Yeah.
362
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:03,000
Moment of truth.
363
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:06,280
It'll be
an offload if we make a mistake.
364
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:09,520
Keep coming, guys. Keep
coming, keep coming, keep coming.
365
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,160
Yeah, I'm still going.
366
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:14,200
Don't stop, whatever the hell
youse do, keep going.
367
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,000
Keep going...
Almost there.
368
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:20,520
Keep going.
369
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,720
Keep going.
370
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,280
You should be just
about there, boys and girls. Whoa!
371
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,800
Hey, whoa, whoa!
Ease up.
372
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,520
Ease up?
Alright, mine's coming. I'm loose.
373
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:34,960
And the trailer broke in two.
374
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:36,760
Son of a gun!
375
00:19:39,360 --> 00:19:41,960
Keep coming, keep coming...
376
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:43,360
Yeah, I'm still going.
377
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,680
On Highway 11, north of Barrie...
378
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:48,760
Ease up.
Ease up?
379
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:52,080
..the crew is gambling to save time.
Keep going.
380
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,200
You should be just
about there, boys and girls.
381
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,800
Yeah, alright mine's
coming, I'm loose.
382
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,160
And the trailer broke in two.
Son of a gun!
383
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,600
The pull was just too
much for the trailer.
384
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:12,120
The whole side's gone.
Really bad.
385
00:20:15,360 --> 00:20:17,680
We don't wanna pull it any further,
because we'll just pull it apart.
386
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:19,920
We're gonna offload it.
387
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:20,960
We don't have a choice.
388
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,320
It's a steep embankment,
389
00:20:23,360 --> 00:20:25,760
the trailer is severely compromised,
390
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:27,800
and we don't
wanna take the chance.
391
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:29,800
We're going to get another trailer
here,
392
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:31,120
and we're just gonna offload it.
393
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,600
The quicker, the better.
394
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,880
The offload will add
hours to the job...
395
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:43,280
..hours of frustration
for northbound drivers.
396
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,880
The road's been closed since about
9am this morning,
397
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:50,400
and we perceive it to be closed for
another three hours, approximately.
398
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:55,240
Obviously we have a lot of traffic
now on our side streets
399
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,440
that isn't helping, but it's all
we can do at this point.
400
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:10,600
80 miles south...
401
00:21:14,120 --> 00:21:16,880
..there's more
trouble on the QEW in Oakville.
402
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,080
Come on, guys! Hurry up!
403
00:21:22,120 --> 00:21:25,360
Kevin Richardson's day
was supposed to be over.
404
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:29,560
He was on his way to deliver a
surprise for his son's birthday.
405
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:33,640
Purchased a used car from
just a tow company I know.
406
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,440
My son just turned 19.
He just got his driver's licence.
407
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,120
He's a good kid, and I'm
proud of him, and...
408
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:40,400
You got another ladder?
409
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:41,560
He gets a shot here.
410
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:45,560
But Kevin couldn't turn
down a call this urgent.
411
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:47,160
We're right at rush hour.
412
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,520
You've got thousands of
employees getting off.
413
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,720
It's high volume of
truck and car traffic.
414
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:56,640
The truck, hauling a Sea Can loaded
with juice,
415
00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:00,320
flipped over just as it was merging
onto the highway.
416
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:04,480
Cops are rushing us.
417
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,880
We were blocking lanes two
and three, plus the on-ramp, so,
418
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,720
of course they're gonna be on you,
"How long?" "Get it open."
419
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:12,880
Hurry up.
I'm good to go.
420
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,000
With a full load in the container...
421
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:18,600
Kevin will need backup.
422
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:22,920
I just got here. We're just
setting up for an upright.
423
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,800
Rookie rotator op Adam Barczak.
424
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,840
Working on the job with Kevin
is pretty good because he will
425
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:32,080
explain what needs to be done
to get the job accomplished.
426
00:22:32,120 --> 00:22:36,320
Hey, Adam? I want you to catch
off the lower line here.
427
00:22:36,360 --> 00:22:38,240
We've done a few recoveries
together,
428
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:40,240
but he's still willing to learn.
429
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,280
I try to just take my time
to walk him through it.
430
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,240
Get double snatch blocks, OK?
431
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,200
Smaller wrecker, he's
gonna spike up the tractor.
432
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,960
Kevin's gonna upright the front end
of the container,
433
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:54,680
and my truck will be at the back.
434
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,920
Adam will lift the back of the Sea
Can, with Kevin on the front,
435
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,200
and a third wrecker on
the tractor,
436
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:07,440
working in unison to roll and ease
the semi down.
437
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:13,080
OK!
438
00:23:13,120 --> 00:23:14,920
We needed everybody to be on the
same page,
439
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,280
especially
with the police pressuring you.
440
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:20,640
How did I get up here?
441
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,680
There's always a little bit
of risk doing a recovery.
442
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:26,160
You got to make sure you have
the proper rigging,
443
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,600
and there's always that concern in
the back of your mind.
444
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,760
It's all a new crew, so we work
together, and we're trying,
445
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:32,960
man, we're trying.
446
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,640
You guys good? OK!
447
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,520
With a new rotator op
and a new team,
448
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:40,760
it's up to Kevin
449
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:45,040
to make sure all three operators
coordinate their move.
450
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:49,800
OK, guys, hold on, let me catch up.
451
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:54,520
Let me boom down.
Hang on, guys.
452
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:57,920
OK. OK, go ahead.
453
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,840
Just try to work in sequence
with each other, nice and smooth.
454
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,680
That way, nobody's
getting ahead of each other.
455
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:07,640
OK! Get your catch line tight.
456
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:14,560
Adam, get that line tight.
457
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,120
OK, I think we got it here, guys.
458
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:38,560
Can't beat that!
459
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:40,760
You know,
some of us working together still,
460
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:42,480
takes time, right, but...
461
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,080
Yeah, we're tryin', we're tryin'.
Not bad!
462
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:47,480
That was beautiful.
463
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:49,360
Pretty quick for a rollover,
464
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,400
so we'll be
opening this highway momentarily.
465
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,280
That's it.
I thought the job went well.
466
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,920
Now Kevin can get
back to his family.
467
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:04,640
I have kids, I have family, so
sometimes I think, you know,
468
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,600
maybe I should have had a suit
job, but I love the job.
469
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:29,360
75 miles northeast, on
the 401 in Newcastle...
470
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:32,160
How's that look?
471
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:35,080
..Mitch and Bill are
finally nearing the end...
472
00:25:35,120 --> 00:25:36,960
Looks good.
473
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,440
..of their gruelling
hours-long offload.
474
00:25:43,120 --> 00:25:45,520
Not that much longer
before we can move it.
475
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:47,080
So, we'll get 'em all open shortly.
476
00:25:47,120 --> 00:25:49,800
Well, yeah, that's what
it's all about, right?
477
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:51,520
Excellent.
Alright, have a good one.
478
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:52,840
Thanks, Kerry. Take care.
479
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,160
This is good news.
480
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,520
Finally, we have relief in sight.
481
00:26:05,360 --> 00:26:06,360
We're good.
482
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,080
I gotta get hooked up to the
tractor, and get it pulled out.
483
00:26:09,120 --> 00:26:10,920
It's time to hook up
and get this thing outta here.
484
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:12,200
We're gonna have to...
485
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:13,400
Chain fork it?
486
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,800
Yeah, but the problem is off
of what? Not much left of it.
487
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:21,720
Just hooking up is more
complicated than Mitch has planned.
488
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:25,040
The axle's destroyed. If you grab
on that, there's nothing there.
489
00:26:26,120 --> 00:26:28,080
Just go right in
front of the spring.
490
00:26:28,120 --> 00:26:29,560
Is yours broken?
491
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:32,920
Today seems like it's
been one of those things.
492
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,480
It's kinda been like one problem
after another, after another.
493
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:37,520
Spring's busted right off?
This side, it is.
494
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:41,320
What a mess!
495
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:48,040
Just go right
in front of the spring.
496
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:49,080
Is yours broken?
497
00:26:49,120 --> 00:26:53,400
East of Toronto, it's been almost 12
hours since a triple crash
498
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:55,960
shut down the eastbound 401.
499
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:57,600
Springs busted right off?
This side, it is.
500
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:03,160
With the afternoon rush building,
the B&G crew has hit another delay.
501
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,000
We give the OPP an estimate to
clear this.
502
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:09,240
Sometimes we're forced to, you know,
put time limits on something
503
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:11,520
when we really don't have all
of the facts in front of us.
504
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:13,080
What a mess!
505
00:27:13,120 --> 00:27:17,520
There's no intact rigging points
on the underside of the tractor.
506
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:19,920
Go if you can behind, uh...
507
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:22,440
Will it drop down in the hole?
508
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,400
Can you go behind here so
it's kind of like a stopper?
509
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,920
So, Mitch is forced to improvise.
510
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,280
How about in here,
through the frame rail?
511
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:32,440
OK, I'm gonna get that a
little tighter, I think.
512
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:41,040
We got it up as high as we can.
513
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:46,800
That's fine.
514
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:51,320
Now all that's left is the tanker
itself...
515
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:54,000
Oh, yeah, look at that.
516
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:57,000
..and it's tangled
up in a tough spot.
517
00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:58,640
Never in a million years.
518
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:02,040
We've got two issues with
the tanker now that it's empty.
519
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,000
We've got the tailgate from
the straight truck
520
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,840
is wedged between the wall and the
rear duals of the tanker,
521
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,160
and the nose of the tanker is
overhanging the wall
522
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:10,720
onto the westbound lanes.
523
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:16,720
It is so. Like, very good.
524
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:18,000
That's the problem, yeah.
525
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,120
We gotta figure out how
to get it out of here.
526
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:21,600
Ah, we've got a mess.
527
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:25,120
We need the second wrecker.
528
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:30,360
But that's the rotator, already
hooked up to tow away the tractor.
529
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,160
We're gonna have to winch
the tanker off the wall,
530
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:34,760
and we've gotta get at it,
and get it done.
531
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,120
So, Bill decides to multi-task.
532
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,520
Mitch, I want you to pull up...
Yeah.
533
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:41,320
..and then back down
beside the wreck.
534
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,880
To save time, they'll keep the
tractor on the rotator's hook,
535
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:47,600
while it lifts
the back of the trailer.
536
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:48,800
Saves him going down the road,
537
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:50,320
dropping the tractor and coming
back.
538
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,840
You know, it's about getting the
road open, right, so we, um,
539
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:57,720
try to be as creative as you can.
540
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:03,840
Mitch rigs to the rear while
50-ton operator Russ
541
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:05,880
sets up his underlift on the front.
542
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:08,800
Ready to go now.
543
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:12,600
Tighten 'er up.
544
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:16,560
Bring her about.
545
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:20,680
Keep coming.
546
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:29,000
OK, whoa!
547
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:34,000
OK.
With the trailer ready to roll...
548
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:36,480
We got the trailer pulled off the
wall. We're pinned up.
549
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:37,840
Pull 'er in.
550
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:42,800
..a scene that started before
sunrise is almost at its end.
551
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:46,000
We can get off the road onto a safe
shoulder
552
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,680
so we can get the highway cleaned up
so they can open it.
553
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:54,520
Ten minutes, we'll be out of here.
554
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:56,840
There was stuff everywhere -
multiple trucks,
555
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,360
multiple towing companies, a
lot of police presence.
556
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:02,560
A bit of road stuff to clean
up, some debris,
557
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:04,320
and then this highway should be
opened back up.
558
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:06,360
It's been a stressful day,
but we're getting the job done.
559
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,960
OK, guys.
I'll talk to you guys later.
560
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,720
It feels extremely good to get this
one wrapped up and heading for home.
561
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:13,840
It was a long
day, it was difficult.
562
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,360
There was a lot of learning
curves, a lot of unknowns.
563
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:18,360
However, in the end,
we've come through.
564
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:19,440
It's been a long day, man.
565
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:20,840
It's time to go home.
566
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:24,760
There was a lot of stuff going
on, and I think that, you know,
567
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:25,800
as a whole, we tackled each
job,
568
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,160
and kinda got things done to the
best of our abilities,
569
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:29,560
and got the highway opened up.
570
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:34,240
(TRUCK TOOTS)
571
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:52,040
Back up Highway 11, evening
traffic has been hitting a wall.
572
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,080
They're just about ready
to start to pull this out.
573
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:03,240
The two heavy crews have
unloaded the remaining cargo.
574
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:05,840
OK! Now down.
575
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:09,560
Now they need to get the semi up the
slope,
576
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:13,960
but even empty,
it's in no shape to make the trip.
577
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:15,840
We're gonna cross-chain
the underside of it,
578
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:17,680
try to get some structural strength
back in it,
579
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:19,560
'cause it's not gonna survive.
580
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:22,440
I'm gonna cross-chain underneath
the trailer
581
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,400
from the landing gear legs to the
back bogie trails,
582
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:27,200
and we're gonna tighten those up.
583
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:32,240
The chains will help restore some of
the trailer's structural integrity.
584
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:35,880
Unless it's cross-chained,
585
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:38,640
we'll probably end up pulling the
trailer in half.
586
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:42,360
First...
This'll be cool.
587
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:45,200
..they'll have to risk lifting the
battered trailer
588
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:46,800
up from the muddy field.
589
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:51,240
Nice shot.
590
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,560
That'll get our strap
over the other side.
591
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:57,320
Take that chain
and go right across.
592
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:02,200
I'll just take it up nice and slow.
593
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:04,040
See what happens when
we pull it up.
594
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:05,560
OK?
595
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:07,040
Yup, going up!
596
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,280
No. Chain skipped.
597
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,240
Alright.
598
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:21,200
OK, there we go.
599
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,400
Now comes the fun part.
600
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,160
Getting the chains underneath.
601
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:30,080
It's time-consuming rigging...
602
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:31,600
Put the shackle through here.
603
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:36,560
..but the only hope for getting
the trailer uphill intact.
604
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:38,920
Oh, that's the way. OK.
605
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:41,080
Oh, yeah, getting dirty.
606
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,080
All part of the job, right?
607
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:48,440
There we go.
608
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:52,640
Let it down and see what happens.
609
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:54,800
Hopefully it supports itself.
610
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:05,080
It'll be a little floppy, but
it's gonna be better than it was.
611
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,320
Next is to get him to take the
spreader bar away,
612
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:11,200
and then we're gonna
start pullin' and prayin'.
613
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:14,280
The worst happens,
the trailer will split apart.
614
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:16,200
We'll soon find out.
Yeah.
615
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:19,240
The semi is so badly compromised,
616
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:23,040
the crew needs to ease it upward,
gradually.
617
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,280
I'll sure be glad to
see that trailer up here.
618
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:26,320
Yeah.
619
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:27,720
We don't want it to climb.
620
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:31,360
We want it to ride the ditch,
and it's a steep graded ditch
621
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:33,320
that could put too much stress on
the trailer,
622
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:35,120
and pull it apart just from the
force
623
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:36,800
of trying
to pull it up too soon.
624
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:44,600
Tyler will slowly pull the wreck
backwards along the slope,
625
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:48,800
until Phil can use his boom to move
it to the road.
626
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,720
OK, Tyler.
Okey-dokey.
627
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:56,040
So I'm gonna start pulling.
628
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:00,120
We just have to do everything in
little tiny increments
629
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,480
and try not to stress that out too
bad.
630
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:12,880
Come on, roll!
631
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:16,240
Yeah, she's rolling.
OK.
632
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:20,520
If the semi starts to tip,
the stress could be too much.
633
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:25,320
They need to keep all wheels
on the ground, all the way up.
634
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:28,280
You're pulling at a nice pace.
Don't say it too early, man.
635
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:29,960
There's a lot of distance
between us
636
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:31,400
and where that trailer needs to be.
637
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,160
Just a little bit at a time.
638
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:45,840
We want it to keep riding
the ditch like it's been doing.
639
00:34:48,720 --> 00:34:51,840
We've got air
underneath the rear tyre.
640
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:52,880
Hold it! Hold it!
641
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:57,920
Just a little bit at a time.
642
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:04,840
We want it to keep riding
the ditch like it's been doing.
643
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:09,000
We've got air
underneath the rear tyre.
644
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:12,160
Hold it! Hold it!
645
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:13,880
Back off for a sec.
646
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:15,800
On the edge of Highway
11,
647
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:19,880
the broken trailer is starting to
lean off the bank.
648
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:21,960
Might want to do the V chain now.
649
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:26,280
The crew needs it to roll
straight to avoid tearing it in two.
650
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:29,480
Time for Phil to step
in with the rotator.
651
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:32,640
I'm gonna move ahead, throw a strap
over to the rear of the trailer.
652
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:39,320
Now it should come.
653
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:42,840
You're hooked on, right?
654
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:49,160
Alright, you're starting to pick
it. OK, we're gonna start pulling.
655
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:50,680
Yeah, I'll come with you.
656
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:58,520
For the final stretch up to
the highway,
657
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:01,640
Phil and Tyler need to pull as one.
658
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:10,480
It's important that we bring
everything up the bank in one piece,
659
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:14,320
at the same time, so we have to
match our winch speeds.
660
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:16,360
My winches are a lot
faster than his are.
661
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:19,560
OK, stop.
Stop for a sec? It's moving?
662
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:21,000
Yes, come on, quick!
663
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:23,320
Pat, I gotta work in sync with him.
664
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:24,920
Yeah, I know. He's holding it.
665
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:26,560
I'm trying to match
666
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:30,320
my speed with Phil by speeding up,
and he's trying to slow down.
667
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:35,240
When you get too much pull from one
of us,
668
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:37,280
that can change the whole game.
669
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:40,240
I'm just watching
the trailer buckle on this side.
670
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:44,160
Make sure you're not twisting
the trailer too much,
671
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:45,640
because you don't wanna aggravate
672
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:47,400
that big
wound in the side and the roof.
673
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:48,600
(CRUNCH)
674
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:50,440
OK, hold on, hold on, hold on.
675
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:53,800
This crack has opened up a little
bit.
676
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:56,880
I'm afraid that this thing is gonna
split in two
677
00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:58,840
before we
get it to the top of the hill.
678
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:02,760
We can't be too much longer.
That crack is starting to open.
679
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:05,760
Right down there.
Where his ripped seam is.
680
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:08,000
The bottom rail's starting to open.
681
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,600
They need to keep going.
682
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:13,320
Once you start to pull,
you don't wanna stop.
683
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:15,080
That's where things
can really go bad.
684
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:18,440
Even if it starts to come apart,
we're gonna put it here.
685
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:20,560
Anything can happen.
686
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:22,440
It can go wrong,
and when it goes wrong,
687
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:24,240
it usually goes wrong really
quickly.
688
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:27,720
Just bring 'er up.
689
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:30,520
The tractor's
coming off the ground.
690
00:37:31,720 --> 00:37:33,280
We'll get the rubber up on the
ground here.
691
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:38,760
Come on, quick.
692
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:47,440
Just a tyre.
OK, keep going.
693
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:49,080
Yeah, I got about five feet.
694
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:54,560
About a foot.
695
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:00,800
Set the trailer brakes for a second,
and we'll move 'em!
696
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:03,320
So far we've been lucky,
697
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:06,760
so we're just gonna push the
envelope a little bit.
698
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:11,320
We wanna get
the tractor tandems up on the road.
699
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:13,840
We're actually gonna
lift the entire tractor
700
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:16,680
and the front of the trailer up,
still joined.
701
00:38:16,720 --> 00:38:19,360
I'm gonna get as close as I
can to the edge here,
702
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:20,680
reach all the way out,
703
00:38:20,720 --> 00:38:23,560
and then I'll just rotate it as he
brings it out a little bit more.
704
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:30,440
If he pulls one way a little
too much,
705
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:32,800
and I pull another way,
no communication...
706
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:35,080
The trailer will split apart.
707
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:39,720
Gotta start winching it back.
Yeah.
708
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:45,360
And Phil is still reaching
further off the side than he'd like.
709
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:47,160
I just keep an eye on my
outriggers,
710
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:50,120
because if they come
up to a certain point,
711
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:53,400
in an instant,
you can pull your whole truck over.
712
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:03,320
If the trailer rips in half, it
rips in half. I fully expect it to.
713
00:39:05,720 --> 00:39:08,600
OK, whoa!
Hey, nobody move!
714
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:10,040
Hey, whoa! Whoa!
715
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:13,000
OK, hold on. Hold on. Phil?
716
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:16,800
Any time you're pulling anything
up a bank, anything can go wrong.
717
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:19,960
My worst nightmare is pulling
something and having it flip on me.
718
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,120
This is where you
gotta take it up, right?
719
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:24,080
Lift the whole thing up in the air.
720
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:26,160
Now you gotta go straight up.
Yeah.
721
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:32,400
He's right at the cusp.
722
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:37,200
Point of no return.
723
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:43,040
Once we get the tractor wheels up
there, I'm gonna feel a lot better.
724
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:55,480
You're up!
OK!
725
00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:58,320
Pull 'er back, yeah.
726
00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:04,000
Two feet to touchdown.
727
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:12,040
That's it. Touchdown. Good.
728
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:13,600
Poor old thing, look at it.
729
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:15,720
It just got destroyed.
730
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:17,760
It surprised me that
it stayed in one piece.
731
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:19,880
I had my serious doubts about it.
732
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:24,200
It's one of those things
that could have went very bad,
733
00:40:24,240 --> 00:40:25,840
but no, it went really well.
734
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:27,720
There you are.
Yeah, that was awesome!
735
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:30,960
We made it. You gotta like
it when a plan comes together.
736
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:34,440
Phil was great.
737
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:35,760
He's got a lot more experience than
me,
738
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:37,840
so I definitely learned a lot from
him,
739
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:39,960
and I will definitely
take his ideas
740
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:42,080
and the way
he did things further on.
741
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:46,240
You can teach an
old dog new tricks.
742
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:51,600
We took a few risks, and they
paid off. The police are all happy.
743
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:53,000
Everybody's happy.
744
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:57,760
And Classic's legacy
is in good hands.
745
00:40:57,800 --> 00:40:59,240
I love my job,
and I'll do the job,
746
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:00,880
and I don't care what it takes to
get it done.
747
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:03,880
(TOOT)
748
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:12,080
On the western tip of
Lake Ontario in Niagara...
749
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:15,000
Is that your big brother? Eh?
750
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:18,960
Kevin's cleaned up, and he's
made it to his son's birthday.
751
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:20,880
Show Dillon your pizza.
752
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:22,240
Pizza!
753
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:24,880
Eh? There you go!
754
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:29,680
Two years ago, Kevin started his
second phase of fatherhood.
755
00:41:29,720 --> 00:41:31,720
There he is. Hi.
756
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:33,800
Here, Dillon!
Thank you!
757
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:37,320
But today he's planned
a surprise for Dillon.
758
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:40,280
He's actually my first
boy, then Brenton...
759
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:42,680
It's just I'm proud of him.
760
00:41:42,720 --> 00:41:43,920
He's a good kid. He works hard.
761
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:45,720
I told him that I had to
move some old furniture,
762
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:47,680
so I said, "I need your help."
763
00:41:52,720 --> 00:41:56,720
I hope you like it. That's it.
764
00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:58,560
Thank you very much.
I appreciate it.
765
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:01,080
He was pretty shocked when I opened
the garage,
766
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:02,880
and he seen the balloons on the
mirror.
767
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:04,720
It was just...
It was a proud moment for me.
768
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:09,120
I'm proud of you, and, uh,
yeah, I love ya. Congratulations.
769
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:10,920
Thank you. Thanks a lot.
I appreciate it.
770
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:12,360
I'm having a moment here, man!
771
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:16,400
I hope he likes it, and... Enjoy.
772
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:22,400
There you go.
773
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:25,240
Any problems, you call me.
Yeah, yeah.
774
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:29,400
I might know a tow company that can
tow this if you ever break down.
775
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:30,440
Just kidding.
776
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:33,480
