Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:02,000
That's not good.
2
00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:03,800
This time on Heavy Rescue: 401...
3
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:05,360
Oh, that's a bummer.
4
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:06,600
Cracked trailer...
5
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:08,800
If he doesn't prepare
himself, he could...
6
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:11,760
.. forces split decision.
7
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:13,600
Watch out. Whoa, whoa, whoa!
8
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:15,040
We don't have much wiggle room.
9
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:17,280
The Rosses get squeezed.
10
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:20,520
Pretty easy to get lost out here.
11
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:23,160
And Mitch heads off-road...
12
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:24,400
If I get stuck,
we're here all night.
13
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:26,040
.. and into the drink.
14
00:00:26,080 --> 00:00:28,440
No, Mitch, you've got water!
15
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:46,840
Mid-afternoon traffic on
16
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,000
the highways of Toronto is moving
well,
17
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:58,040
but at the Compass Traffic
18
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,160
Centre, operators keep careful
watch,
19
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:06,000
because when there's more
20
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:10,520
room for traffic to move, there's
more room for things to go wrong...
21
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:14,400
401 eastbound express,
east of Vic Park.
22
00:01:24,960 --> 00:01:26,760
Orillia-5-Tango-0-0-7.
23
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:28,720
I'm just 401 right now.
24
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,560
...and just after 3:00pm, OPP
Sergeant
25
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:36,760
Kerry Schmidt heads west of the city
to an urgent call in Oakville.
26
00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:50,200
So, we got a truck on fire,
Highway 403, near Dundas.
27
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:53,760
We gotta get to the scene.
28
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,480
This is a pretty significant
fire we're dealing with, so
29
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:05,760
there's gonna be massive delays,
and congestion, and possibly road
30
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:07,240
closures in that area right now.
31
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,960
Alright, so, traffic's backing up
here now, so this is the start of
32
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:14,440
the slowdown.
33
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,280
There they are. I see the flashing
lights.
34
00:02:26,920 --> 00:02:29,840
A fire crew is dousing
the last of the flames
35
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:31,880
that erupted on the flatbed trailer.
36
00:02:31,920 --> 00:02:34,360
That's quite the mess.
37
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,360
Hey, how you doin'?
38
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,400
The brakes seized, heated
up, caught fire, and then
39
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,760
the fire got converted up to
the cargo that was on the flatbed.
40
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,680
This is Highway 403 eastbound
just before Dundas Street.
41
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,280
We have a transport
truck that caught fire.
42
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:59,360
Kerry documents the scene
to keep the public informed.
43
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,040
It actually melted
the aluminium deck of the trailer.
44
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,240
Fire is on scene doing their work.
45
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,880
The fire department obviously has
put the fire out, but we're down
46
00:03:11,920 --> 00:03:14,840
below zero, freezing temperatures,
and obviously the risk of ice
47
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,560
and freezing of that water could
result in slippery conditions.
48
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:22,560
Firefighters take care of
the ice, but the tougher
49
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,440
problem is the flatbed itself.
50
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,400
The fire actually melted
the integrity of the trailer,
51
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:32,800
and continued up into the cargo of
the trailer, and now we're waiting
52
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,960
for crews to come in and remove
the trailer and the cargo.
53
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:41,320
Removing it won't be
a simple hook and tow.
54
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,160
They can't even pull it because
the structural integrity is gone.
55
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,880
So, as soon as they pull it, it's
just going to collapse on itself.
56
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,800
Yeah, they need to
float it out on a flatbed.
57
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,480
We want to get this trailer cleared
out of here as quickly as we can.
58
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:57,920
Traffic is backing up.
This is a major connector
59
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,800
here on the west end of the GTA,
and any time we lose a lane here,
60
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,120
it has massive implications.
61
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,400
This trailer's not going anywhere.
62
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:16,920
On North America's busiest
highway, closure is not an option.
63
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,160
Looks like we got some
heavy tows showing up here.
64
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,400
I see two heavy tows, but I
don't see a float trailer.
65
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,840
Waiting for a float trailer
is going to take extra time.
66
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,200
For us to be towing it down
the highway puts it in huge
67
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,080
risk because if it was to fail
on the highway, we could have an
68
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,760
even bigger mess than
what we have right now.
69
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:51,440
So, the heavy ops offer
up an unconventional idea.
70
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,960
I'm gonna hook up at the back,
you hook up at the front.
71
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,760
So, the tows have a plan - tow
it off without a float trailer
72
00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,920
by putting one truck in reverse.
73
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:06,960
They'll hook one wrecker to the back
and a second on the front, slinging
74
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:08,760
the trailer between them.
75
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:14,160
Then they'll drive it off
the road, one of them in reverse.
76
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,720
This is something that we
don't see all the time...
77
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:27,160
It will be faster than waiting, but
if the move puts too much strain on
78
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,880
the middle, they risk
breaking the trailer in half.
79
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:35,400
Go, go, go! Out, out, out!
80
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,880
So, the salter truck should be in
place in less than five minutes.
81
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,080
The MTO's got
the blockers across the back.
82
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:48,000
As managers of the scene,
the OPP have decided it's
83
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,160
a chance worth taking.
84
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,440
Let's see if these
guys can pull it off.
85
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,080
Hopefully the, uh, integrity
of this trailer holds.
86
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,680
We have that deck that
has been compromised.
87
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:04,880
They're going to lift
right on the axle?
88
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:06,280
Yeah, looks like it.
89
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,840
They got the front end hooked
up, back end is just lifting up
90
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,400
right now, and they're going to
bring it right off the ground.
91
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,720
Even this initial
lift could be too much.
92
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:18,760
You can see how it's
93
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,640
flexing right at the break
point there, of the trailer.
94
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,040
So far, it's holding.
95
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:36,680
It should be almost ready to roll.
96
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:43,080
Now... They need it to stay intact
for the 300-foot trip to the exit.
97
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,920
You'll be in neutral going
backwards, and just rear steering?
98
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:50,320
It is dicey, because this is a big
combination unit, and considering
99
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:51,840
one of the tow operators is
100
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:56,600
actually driving in reverse, they
need to work very carefully, so
101
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,120
that we don't have a failure while
we're moving this down the road.
102
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:09,840
Alright, and we're rolling.
103
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:18,320
Seeing this operation in play was
certainly dynamic and fascinating.
104
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,880
They got it off the highway in
much better time, than what we
105
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,680
would have had to have had, had
we waited for that float trailer.
106
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:41,120
Great job, guys. A memorable
recovery that was very well done.
107
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:46,320
Regarding that tractor-trailer
fire east 403 at Dundas, thankfully
108
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,120
the remains have been removed,
and all lanes have reopened.
109
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,760
90 miles north, traffic heading into
110
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:15,400
Barrie, is bottlenecking into a
serious slowdown on Highway 11.
111
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,440
Passenger's got serious injuries,
112
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:27,640
and has been transported to
a Toronto-area trauma centre.
113
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:34,360
Approaching a truck moving extremely
slowly, the southbound driver tried
114
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:39,760
to stop, veered off the road,
and rammed into a stand of trees.
115
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:43,880
You wanna go all
the way back there first?
116
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:45,880
Classic Towing's Phil Barron has
117
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:51,080
already seen that there's no way to
pull it out with the cargo inside.
118
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,640
We got 'er!
We want to offload
119
00:08:53,680 --> 00:08:56,200
it, and we want to get a good
look at the inside of the trailer,
120
00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:00,320
because we've already seen
the underside has broken boards.
121
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,120
Heavy, eh? For insulation.
122
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,040
For the second time this winter,
123
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:09,960
Phil will be working alongside
Tyler Wall from Lucky's Towing.
124
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,880
Any bit of weight, if we take it
out, it increases our chances of
125
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,400
being able to pull this
thing out as one unit.
126
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:20,640
It's crucial that we get this
roadway open again, especially
127
00:09:20,680 --> 00:09:24,080
before dark, and for everybody's
safety, it's very important that
128
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:25,600
we clear this scene.
129
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:30,160
Offloading the insulation
has eaten up valuable time.
130
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,920
It's so badly damaged up
front, we may tear it apart
131
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:37,200
when we pull it up.
I think that's it.
132
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,960
Now, we're gonna get our trucks
up over there and hook onto it.
133
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:48,200
Phil moves the flagship
75-ton Classic rotator
134
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:53,240
to hook the front, and Tyler
gets his wrecker into position.
135
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,520
He'll be on the back end
of it, keeping the trailer
136
00:09:56,560 --> 00:09:58,400
steady, and then I'll be up here.
137
00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:00,880
Good? That's good!
138
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:04,360
Everybody ready?
139
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:10,160
Ready! The plan is to have Phil
hold onto the snout of the trailer
140
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:14,400
as I swing the ass end of
the trailer onto the road.
141
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:19,440
Come in a little more. If there's
any movement from the front, since
142
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:24,040
the brake's at the front, it can
cause the trailer to snap in half.
143
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:27,160
Keep coming.
144
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,160
Beautiful.
So far, so good.
145
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,040
They've got the tractor where they
146
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:50,000
want it, but now Tyler has to
swing up the fragile trailer.
147
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,480
Go ahead. I'll just watch ya.
148
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,400
Yeah. You never know what it's
going to do until you give it a
149
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:56,680
bit of a pull.
150
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:58,400
I'm all unhooked at the front here.
151
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:03,520
OK. I'm gonna try to lift,
as well as pull the trailer
152
00:11:03,560 --> 00:11:07,520
toward me, in the hopes that when
I lift it up, it doesn't transfer
153
00:11:07,560 --> 00:11:10,920
weight to the front and cause
the trailer to snap in half.
154
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:24,720
Whoa, hang on!
155
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:28,480
Is it looking good, Phil?
156
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,160
There's no twisting...
157
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,240
Carry on?
I think we're good.
158
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:42,880
They just need it to swing smoothly,
the final few feet up to the road.
159
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:46,680
It's staying together so far.
160
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,360
There's still a chance
that it could rip.
161
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,080
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
162
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:56,440
Go ahead.
163
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:57,960
I'll just watch ya.
164
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,760
On Highway 11, the Classic and Lucky
165
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:05,360
crews need to ease the cracked
trailer smoothly to the road.
166
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:10,320
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
167
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,560
But they haven't
quite cleared the slope.
168
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,200
Although, the front of
the trailer is starting to
169
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,840
turn up, the back of the trailer is
digging into the bank a little bit.
170
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,880
The top's more top-heavy, so when I
pull the bottom, it's like pulling
171
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:26,280
the legs out from underneath it.
172
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,640
It went really quick
that way, and I think I
173
00:12:28,680 --> 00:12:33,520
caught Phil off-guard. If you put a
line to it, and you can pull it...
174
00:12:33,560 --> 00:12:35,240
Okay.
175
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:42,560
Phil needs to reposition
the rotator and add another line.
176
00:12:46,560 --> 00:12:48,320
I'm just gonna do a
straight pull this way.
177
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,560
Yeah.
So give it a little pull, Phil.
178
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:59,560
I'll just come nice
and easy, little bit at a time.
179
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:08,240
We're just gonna be as gentle
as we can, and move as slow as
180
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,600
we can, and get it up on the road.
181
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:13,000
Yeah, here she comes.
182
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,760
OK. Just remember, not too fast.
183
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:17,320
You're ten times faster than me.
184
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:22,800
Bring it in a bit.
185
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,240
And the whole front
end's on the road.
186
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,560
Alright, you can stop there.
I'll pull the rest of it over here.
187
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:47,800
She's on the road.
188
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:52,320
We are good. We should be able to
tow it out of here in one piece.
189
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:55,320
Oh, that's a bummer.
190
00:13:55,360 --> 00:14:00,680
But a closer inspection reveals that
the trailer is even more compromised
191
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:02,200
than they thought.
192
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,880
The damage is pretty severe
on the floor of the trailer.
193
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:06,800
It's cracked in two
places, not just one.
194
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:08,960
There's no way, with the way
195
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,560
the trailer is, that we're gonna be
able to pull them as a single unit.
196
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:15,240
That's not good.
197
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,840
200 miles southwest,
just east of London...
198
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:46,320
Traffic passing the Putnam Truck
Inspection Station is slowing to
199
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,480
catch an unusual sight.
200
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,760
It's definitely kind of a unique
situation. It's not too often
201
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:06,840
that you find yourself working in
the scale house, doing a recovery.
202
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:12,480
Today, Austin Hutchinson,
Ross Services' newest
203
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,200
operator, is answering the call.
204
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,440
Today, I'm on my way out with
the rotator. Mike's gonna come
205
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,400
out, kind of supervise
and lend a helping hand here.
206
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:25,800
It's already been a winter of
challenging recoveries for Austin,
207
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:30,400
but the biggest challenge has been
leaving his own family's company.
208
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,800
Originally, I worked for
Spicer's of Woodstock.
209
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:34,280
It was a family-owned company.
210
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:35,400
My uncle and my cousin owned it.
211
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:39,120
Last year, they decided that they
were ready to retire, so David Ross
212
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:43,400
bought our rotator from us,
and they offered me a job.
213
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:47,960
It's been an adjustment, but
Austin's earned his place.
214
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,360
Today, he'll be taking the lead.
215
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:58,000
Putting it on the Landoll.
216
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:03,160
As Austin and senior op Mike
Ross arrive, the fire crew has
217
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:04,400
put out the flames.
218
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:05,880
I'm actually going to pick this
219
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:09,000
truck up with the rotator, and set
it onto one of our Landoll floats.
220
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:10,440
One there, one on the back.
221
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,960
The biggest thing to worry about
on one of these things, is just
222
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,520
making sure that you got a hold of
something solid. Yeah, that's good.
223
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,160
We're just gonna pick
it up nice and gently.
224
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,000
OK, going up, just watch yourself.
225
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,280
OK, Brandon, get ready, get in
your truck.
226
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:42,680
Should be good there.
227
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,720
Keep coming! Hold it!
228
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:54,400
Alright, she's coming around.
229
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:56,560
Boom down.
230
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,000
Me and Austin work well together.
231
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,600
He knows what's going
on, and does a good job.
232
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:06,680
Well, that's a first.
233
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:11,840
Today's job might have been simple,
234
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:15,640
but it's another sign that
Austin made the right move.
235
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:18,760
I've never got a burnt one
out of the scale before.
236
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,240
Absolutely, I feel like
an equal member at Ross.
237
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:24,480
I mean, it feels like home.
Another one done.
238
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:36,320
Are the dolly legs on
the ground right now?
239
00:17:36,360 --> 00:17:39,000
Back up on Highway 11...
240
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:40,440
We can wheel it up a little bit...
241
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,600
The combined crews are
working to find some way
242
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:47,080
to move the compromised
trailer off the scene.
243
00:17:47,120 --> 00:17:50,360
..and just put a little winch
on it, and pull the trailer down.
244
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,480
Once we pull the truck out from
underneath the trailer, there'll
245
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:54,840
be no strength to hold it up.
246
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,040
The floor will just let
go, and then we'll have
247
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:58,480
a bigger mess on our hands.
248
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,560
There's no way the trailer can
249
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:05,120
move in one piece, but it's not
safe to let it just fall apart.
250
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,160
We're gonna get you to cut it.
251
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:09,760
Can you cut it right here?
252
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,320
I'm an arborist, and I got
called to remove the tree
253
00:18:12,360 --> 00:18:13,760
that the truck ran into.
254
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:18,000
But the crew is recruiting
him for a whole different job.
255
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:21,200
We don't work with chainsaws
every day. He's got all that
256
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:24,560
skill, so if he's here, we might as
well use him, put him to good use.
257
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,560
Cut 'er right across.
Something different.
258
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:28,920
Change is as good as a break.
259
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:34,600
Cutting the trailer in two will
allow them to safely remove both
260
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:38,720
pieces, without risking
the entire unit falling
261
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:45,400
apart on the road, but the floor
is only the first part of the job.
262
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,600
Hey, Wes!
We got a ladder up this way,
263
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:50,240
if you'd go up and cut the roof.
264
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:51,600
I'm used to climbing a tree
265
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,680
with spurs on, but we don't really
like ladders in the tree industry.
266
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:11,200
When he's cutting, he's leaning
on the saw, so at any point when
267
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:12,360
something lets go,
268
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,600
if he doesn't prepare himself, he
could lean forward, lose balance.
269
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:21,880
Watch out!
270
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:27,400
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
271
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:28,880
We're gonna get you to cut it.
272
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,360
On Highway 11...
Almost through!
273
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:37,160
The heavy recovery crew has
drafted their tree expert for
274
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:38,720
his sawing skills.
275
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,000
At any point when
something lets go,
276
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:44,360
if he doesn't prepare himself, he
could lean forward, lose balance.
277
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:48,120
He's a brave guy because even
though he's standing on the good
278
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:49,680
side, it's only aluminium.
279
00:19:52,120 --> 00:19:54,800
Watch out! Whoa, whoa, whoa!
280
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:58,800
When I cut the top,
the trailer buckled.
281
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,680
The roof is ready to collapse...
282
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:03,920
It'll just fold over
one way or another.
283
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:05,400
Can you push it up?
284
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,760
.. so the crew needs to be ready.
285
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:12,040
As long as he knows
where the ladder is,
286
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,320
and he can jump for it, then
the rest of us can get him.
287
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:28,560
OK! Whoo, hoo, hoo, hoo!
288
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,080
He just cut through the top roof.
289
00:20:32,360 --> 00:20:34,360
Evening traffic is building on
290
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:38,080
the bottlenecked highway,
and so is the pressure...
291
00:20:38,120 --> 00:20:39,640
I gotta cut the final piece
292
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,480
of the aluminium
holding the trailer together.
293
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:56,080
We're hopeful.
294
00:20:56,120 --> 00:20:58,600
I think there's one crosser
still holding it on the bottom.
295
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:02,360
But they can't spend
any more time on cutting.
296
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,240
I'm just gonna give it
a nice easy little pull,
297
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:06,840
and we'll see what happens.
298
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:13,520
They'll rely on force to wrench
the rest of the trailer apart, so
299
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:15,280
they can clear this road.
300
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,960
That's her!
We're good.
301
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:29,480
Let's hook 'er up,
get 'er outta here.
302
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:35,760
The crew can tow away both ends of
the trailer, but that's not the only
303
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:37,800
reason to celebrate.
304
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:41,920
Just heard from the OPP
that the passenger that
305
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:45,080
was injured in the vehicle, she's
gonna be OK, she's gonna recover,
306
00:21:45,120 --> 00:21:46,720
so that's a good thing.
307
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,840
People count, that doesn't.
308
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:50,920
That's just steel.
309
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:53,920
Right there.
310
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:55,760
I think we did a really good job.
311
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,840
It was a first for me to call in
an arborist to come cut a trailer
312
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:02,160
in half, so that was a
new experience for me.
313
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,040
Get it outta here,
open up the highway.
314
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:23,400
As a new day dawns...
Let's get 'er done.
315
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:27,320
Mitch Wright is prepping
for an unusual recovery.
316
00:22:27,360 --> 00:22:29,720
Directions are a little off, but
it's not like there's a regular,
317
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:31,320
you know, address
where we're going.
318
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,720
Mitch and fellow operator,
Mike Ladner are heading to a
319
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:44,440
job, 125 miles west of their
yard, and far off the 401.
320
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,360
We have a car that's been burnt,
it's in the middle of the woods,
321
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,360
so we're on the way up right now to
try to locate the vehicle, and then
322
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:51,600
see if we can't get this thing
pulled out.
323
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:58,840
So we're going up a half mile, we're
going to see an old railroad line.
324
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:04,000
Over the past three years, Mitch has
cemented his role as a rotator op on
325
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:05,520
big recoveries.
326
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,320
We're used to doing recoveries
with, you know, 53-foot transport
327
00:23:08,360 --> 00:23:09,920
trucks and the big stuff.
328
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:14,480
This year, he's started to
take on a leadership role.
329
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,920
This thing out? Way... Yeah.
330
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,840
We're 45-minutes max, I'm
starting to lose my patience.
331
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,240
Dark does creep up pretty
fast this time of year.
332
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:33,440
I... Gong show, like always.
I went in with a little bit
333
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,520
of overconfidence, and this job is
pretty good at humbling you pretty
334
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,760
fast if you're not careful, so
yeah, it kind of bit me in the ass.
335
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:46,040
But today, facing just an
SUV, he's feeling confident.
336
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:49,320
At first glance of this,
this recovery, kind of,
337
00:23:49,360 --> 00:23:50,920
does look like it's going
to be a walk in the park.
338
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,760
I guess keep your eyes peeled
for that old railroad line.
339
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:57,040
I'm thinking this might
be it right up in here.
340
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:58,080
That's where we gotta go?
341
00:23:58,120 --> 00:23:59,800
Yeah, that's where-
Oh, at the railway line.
342
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:03,200
Yeah, but 1,000 feet up, there's
another trail, and we gotta go in
343
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,880
that trail 1,500 feet
down, past the mud bog.
344
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:08,680
We'll just take
the Bobcat right in, I guess.
345
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,320
This is as far as the truck can go.
346
00:24:11,360 --> 00:24:16,640
From here on, they'll have to
rely on the mini excavator alone.
347
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,600
Alright, let's do it.
I have one bar on my phone.
348
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:23,520
I'm a little concerned about this
job because we don't know exactly
349
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:25,360
where it is, or what we're in for.
350
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,360
That sun's already going down.
Yep.
351
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,880
Two hours left, likely, before
it's gonna be sundown, so getting
352
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:35,520
this thing out of here with
enough time, with the daylight
353
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:37,640
and everything like that,
and getting home, is a priority.
354
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:41,880
Yeah, just straight back.
Let's do it.
355
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,800
Let's go.
We have some directions.
356
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,440
They're a little bit sketchy, but,
you know, I think if we just pay
357
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,160
enough attention, I think
we'll find our way there.
358
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:58,160
Pretty easy to get lost out here.
359
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:01,400
We know that we're in
the right general area,
360
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,320
but unfortunately, you know,
in the woods, you can get lost.
361
00:25:04,360 --> 00:25:05,800
You don't know where you are
at all times.
362
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:16,040
I don't know.
1,500 feet down the trail...
363
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,720
I'm not sure I can
estimate 1,500 feet.
364
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:22,680
Well, I would say right about
where we are. But no burnt car.
365
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:25,160
I'll walk ahead of ya.
366
00:25:29,120 --> 00:25:30,840
We're looking for a needle
in a haystack at this point,
367
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,280
and, you know, soon enough, we're
going to be looking in the dark.
368
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:36,960
It's a recipe for
disaster at this point.
369
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,560
Just 45 miles southwest...
370
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,480
We'll go see what's
going on down there.
371
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:55,720
Mike Ross is back on the road,
372
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,360
and heading for a
heavyweight recovery.
373
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,640
We're headed down towards
St. Thomas, to Highway 3.
374
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:07,360
There's been a serious accident
down there involving a truck with
375
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,000
a coil of steel on it.
376
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,520
You want me up in
front of this thing too?
377
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:16,440
Following close behind in the second
rotator is operator, Brad Prince,
378
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,920
ready for a tough fight.
379
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:22,920
Coils are complex because they're
some of the heaviest loads that are
380
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:24,240
going down the road.
381
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:27,200
Some of these coils can
get up to 80,000 pounds.
382
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:28,760
That's a lot of weight.
383
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:31,160
80,000 pounds, it's almost
what this truck weighs.
384
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:35,960
Big mess here, lots of debris.
385
00:26:38,360 --> 00:26:41,760
A smaller vehicle collided
with the truck, sending it
386
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,400
off the road and into the ditch.
387
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:48,400
Unfortunately, with this
collision, it is a fatality,
388
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:52,000
so there's at least one person
that's not coming home tonight.
389
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:55,840
But right now, the crew must focus.
390
00:26:57,720 --> 00:26:59,280
That coil's a handful down there.
391
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:04,400
Mike's father, David, has already
arrived and sized up the job ahead.
392
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:09,360
The coil of steel became dislodged,
broke the chains and hardware.
393
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,480
It went through
the side of the trailer.
394
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,240
Part of it's laying on
the ground, in the mud.
395
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,320
Probably going to have to drill it.
396
00:27:16,360 --> 00:27:18,000
The cap's way underneath the tank.
397
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:19,600
Yeah, I see that.
I'll get the drill.
398
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:21,440
As younger operators join the crew,
399
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:26,240
for this job, David is happy he
can rely on tested experience.
400
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:27,520
We'll see what it does. If
401
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,560
I have to, I'll put the drag winch
on, tug it over away a little bit.
402
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,160
He's got a lot of
years of doing it.
403
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,720
He has an appreciation for weight.
404
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:37,920
That is probably one
of the biggest things.
405
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,640
Weight and balance. That's what
you gotta have for this job.
406
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,200
We gotta pull the truck
and trailer out first to get access
407
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,840
to the coil. It's kinda leaning
up against the coil in the ditch.
408
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:53,040
Hopefully, with any luck,
this coil stays where it is.
409
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:58,880
The coil, weighing in at
an estimated 55,000 pounds,
410
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:03,600
could shift during the pull,
causing damage to the trailer.
411
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,800
The trailer has some war
wounds, but surprisingly, it's in
412
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,840
relatively good shape for going
through a collision like this.
413
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,560
Can you pull up the chains that
are falling out the other side
414
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:13,600
and the back of the trailer?
415
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:17,880
Ideally, they would pull
the trailer sideways, away
416
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:23,760
from the coil, but in this ditch,
there's only so far they can pull.
417
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,880
We got the coil on the other
side that's pushing up against
418
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,360
the trailer, and we got this
culvert that's really only a
419
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:31,040
foot off the other side.
420
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:34,200
We don't have much wiggle
room to try and manoeuvre this
421
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:35,760
trailer to get it outta the ditch.
422
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:41,120
It's probably about a
$125,000 trailer, so you
423
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,600
don't want to do any more damage
to the trailer for the customer.
424
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:51,360
Mike will use a lowline to divert
the trailer sideways
425
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:53,240
as much as possible,
426
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:56,720
while two lines from
the second rotator steer the truck
427
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:58,080
to the road.
428
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:02,600
Give 'er a tug.
429
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:05,920
Winch it from there
and see what it does.
430
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:26,680
Gently pulling this thing out.
431
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:28,680
Really gotta be
careful how we do this.
432
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,160
They need the trailer
to clear the coil,
433
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,840
without getting caught
and dragging against it.
434
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:38,880
Watch the coil on the other side.
435
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,440
Whoa! Whoa!
436
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:48,760
Give 'er a tug.
437
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:53,800
On Highway 3 south of London...
Gently pulling this thing out.
438
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:56,000
Really gotta be
careful how we do this.
439
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:59,800
The Ross crew is working to ease
out the trailer without jamming
440
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:04,240
it on the 55,000-pound steel coil.
441
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:08,280
Watch the coil on the other side.
442
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,080
Whoa! Whoa!
443
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,840
When Brad started pulling it out,
the back of the trailer got into
444
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:23,240
that coil, and it was just kinda,
gonna cause damage to the trailer.
445
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:26,160
It's pushing on
that coil real hard.
446
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:29,360
The coil is starting to drag
along the side of the trailer.
447
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:31,800
Find something to hook to.
448
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:34,760
Now, that they've cleared
the culvert, Mike should be able
449
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,240
to redirect the trailer away.
450
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:39,920
Just don't want to cause any
more damage to the trailer.
451
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:42,720
Time for round two.
452
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:49,560
You got it up to your truck?
453
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:54,280
We'll get this thing
out of here now.
454
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:02,400
It's coming out just fine.
455
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:10,880
We're fine.
456
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,520
Come out of the ditch
real nice, actually.
457
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,280
But the truck was just the warm-up.
458
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:23,600
The real challenge
will be the coil itself.
459
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:26,400
Can you confirm the weight
of that thing for me?
460
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:31,760
Guess we'll find out.
461
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,760
Up a back road,
45 miles northeast...
462
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,760
There's no maps.
Just trust your sense of direction.
463
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:44,480
With the sun starting to set,
464
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:49,920
Mitch's quick and simple job
is so far, anything but...
465
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,080
We can't locate
the SUV at this time.
466
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:54,040
We have next-to-no
cell service.
467
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,080
You know, our directions
are very vague.
468
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:58,200
But just as hope is fading away...
469
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:00,000
Oh, there it is.
470
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:04,800
They've finally found the wreck,
and the first signs are promising.
471
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:07,200
It looks like everything is still
intact,
472
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:10,160
so we should be able
to just drag it out of here.
473
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:16,960
Sun's dropping.
474
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,680
We've probably got 45 minutes
before it's pitch black in here.
475
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:23,000
I've run that Bobcat, you know,
pretty much my whole life.
476
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:24,560
I think we can make it happen.
477
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:29,400
Go!
Alright, let's get aggressive.
478
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:38,960
Not quite what I was hoping for...
479
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:47,120
Yeah, keep going.
But from the first pull...
480
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:49,480
Iced up already, man.
481
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:53,240
The job is slipping away.
482
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:56,000
Hang up.
It's not even moving, is it?
483
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:58,000
No, it's not moving.
484
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:01,000
We're done. It's iced. We got
about six inches of snow,
485
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:02,800
on top of basically a sheet of ice,
486
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:04,720
so it's
like a hockey rink under there.
487
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:06,560
Take it off the Bobcat.
488
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:09,720
Alright.
489
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:13,040
OK, so he'll try to push it.
He's just not getting any traction.
490
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:17,480
Ready?
Watch out for a sec, just in case.
491
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,080
Yee-haw. Alright.
492
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:26,600
Give 'er.
493
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:35,080
Come on, baby.
494
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:39,280
While Mitch has trouble
finding traction...
495
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:42,120
Pushing things isn't
working very well, is it?
496
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:45,640
The SUV is finding too much.
497
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:48,520
With a burnt-out car, you have
no wheels, you have no tires.
498
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:50,360
You know, everything's locked
up, everything's digging into
499
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:52,640
the ground, and just
creating more resistance.
500
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:56,560
Hook a chain around that front
bumper... Get it hooked, and, uh...
501
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:59,760
Ugh. Fingers crossed.
502
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:05,640
OK, you're good.
503
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:14,000
I thought this was kind of gonna be,
you know, hook the chains up
504
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:16,240
and drag it out, but I can't
push this thing, I can't pull
505
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:18,200
this thing. We're out here
alone, we've got no help.
506
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:30,600
Drag it towards us a little bit,
before we try and do a lift.
507
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:32,440
See how it likes it.
508
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:34,360
It's a lot of weight.
509
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:38,440
On Highway 3 in Talbotville,
the Ross crew is rigged up
510
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:42,760
and ready to wrestle the steel
coil from the ditch.
511
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:46,480
We're told it's 55,000. Hopefully,
that's an accurate number.
512
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:54,480
It's kinda rolling here now.
This thing's heavy.
513
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:58,440
Lifting up to 55,000 pounds
off the side,
514
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:01,400
could topple Mike's rotator.
515
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:04,640
When you're lifting a coil of that
size, you wanna get it as close to
516
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:07,760
the truck as possible
before you start to lift.
517
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:12,240
And to place the coil onto the new
trailer, Mike will have to swing it
518
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:15,440
right over top of his truck.
519
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:18,800
Everything has to be perfect in
order to lift a coil like that.
520
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:23,600
Ready? Just take it real slow.
521
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:34,240
They said 55. It is 55.
Pretty good lift.
522
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:38,040
There's so many things that
can go wrong when you're lifting
523
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:40,200
something that heavy.
524
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:45,080
Which axle does he want it on?
525
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:47,760
Whenever you swing it
over the back of your truck,
526
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,560
it always goes through
your mind, you know, "What if...?"
527
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:52,760
You just hope it doesn't fall when
it's over your truck, that's all.
528
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:54,800
Anywhere but there.
529
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:12,520
If anything goes wrong at
this point, it's game over.
530
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:22,120
We're almost there.
531
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:42,680
It's always nice when you set
'er down on the other side.
532
00:36:44,240 --> 00:36:46,040
No problem, looks good.
533
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:49,560
With younger operators poised
to move up the ranks at Ross,
534
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:53,680
the current lead op still
has a lot left to teach them.
535
00:36:53,720 --> 00:36:55,360
Well, that went good.
536
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:57,280
Everything went well here.
537
00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:01,120
Mike has acquired quite a skill
set for doing these jobs
538
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:03,520
over the years,
and I'm very proud of him.
539
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:16,320
Straight back!
540
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:19,280
Wow.
541
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:22,840
Back in the forest,
542
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:27,560
Mitch has finally been able
to move the SUV, barely.
543
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:32,920
It's all uphill, downhill, it's icy.
To move it 10 feet takes 10 minutes,
544
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,120
so it's
definitely a struggle.
545
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:39,160
Right now, they're losing
the race against nightfall.
546
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:42,560
Go, go, go, go, go, go!
547
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:46,200
With the sun going down,
we don't have time to waste.
548
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:48,360
Whoo!
549
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:56,160
That could be an issue.
550
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:59,400
We've just gotta keep pushing it,
shoving it, slamming it,
551
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:01,680
and pulling it, doing everything we
can to try and get it out of here.
552
00:38:01,720 --> 00:38:05,480
And the path through the trees...
Bring it more this way.
553
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:08,880
..is getting tighter.
Where am I at?
554
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:11,680
You go straight back
from where you are.
555
00:38:11,720 --> 00:38:15,160
Problem is that we've gotta navigate
through this kind of bush part.
556
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:19,600
We're gonna have to push and pull
in different directions
557
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:22,160
to weave it
through the trees.
558
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:25,280
This is a mess.
559
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:29,920
Mitch, hang on. Just stop.
560
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:37,480
They need to change the plan.
561
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:39,960
There's 10 times more room to go
through it here, but I don't want
562
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:43,560
to put the Bobcat on that ice.
Down by the mud bog, it's iced over.
563
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:46,080
We're not exactly sure how deep
it is, or how thick the ice is.
564
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:48,720
I don't know if it's six inches
deep, is it four feet deep.
565
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:52,520
Well, I could potentially just drag
it straight in here, but, like...
566
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:56,640
You're gonna crack through the ice.
567
00:38:56,680 --> 00:39:00,120
I can make it in. OK, we got
about 15 minutes of daylight.
568
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:03,240
If I go through here, we're
stuck here all night, that's it.
569
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:05,480
So, he decides to make a test run
570
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:09,640
over the bog before he
tries it with the car hooked up.
571
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:14,880
This is either going to go
really good, or... That's hairy.
572
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:20,960
No. Mitch! Mitch, you've got water!
You've hit water!
573
00:39:27,240 --> 00:39:32,800
It seems like Plan A, Plan B,
and Plan C, are all, uh, bad ones.
574
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:36,960
That's a problem. If I go this
way through the trees, we're gonna
575
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:40,160
be here all night, so I don't
know, I'm kinda stuck both ways.
576
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:44,280
It's decision time. A part of me
wants to just hold it wide open
577
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:47,080
and send it across this, but if I
get stuck, we're here all night.
578
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:50,440
The potential of getting stuck
and being there all night long
579
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:52,640
is there, or we can go the long way
through the trees,
580
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:56,240
which...it's a maze.
To get there, and think
581
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:59,280
it's going to be, you know,
this easy go, it's frustrating.
582
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:01,120
We want this thing out of here.
583
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:05,480
OK, I got an idea.
584
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:08,280
OK, so we're gonna bring it
down through the trees,
585
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:09,920
past where the water's gonna be...
586
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:12,440
Like, where the water's showing
from us... And then we're sucking
587
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:15,320
it out that way, through
the other end of the pond still.
588
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:17,280
You don't want to go
all the way around?
589
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:19,480
I think if we screw around with
going through here, and through
590
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:22,160
here, and turning it, and... Like,
it's a lot of thick trees in there.
591
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:25,080
OK, I hear ya.
Alright, let's try it.
592
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:28,680
Alright. 10 minutes left of
daylight.
593
00:40:28,720 --> 00:40:30,840
This should be interesting.
594
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:33,960
We're gonna go halfway through
the trees, the longer way, and then
595
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:36,560
shoot across the centre of the bog,
and hopefully it's gonna be
596
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:39,440
a home run. OK, you ready?
I'm ready!
597
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:41,760
This is hairy.
598
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:46,520
Only got about 10 feet
599
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:49,040
before you have to turn, or
you're gonna end up in the drink.
600
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:55,280
But weaving through
the trees is far from simple.
601
00:40:57,280 --> 00:41:00,320
Going this way, you've got
all kinds of problems
602
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:02,440
with turning the whole vehicle.
603
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:12,760
Once we get about another 50 feet
over that way, we should be able
604
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:16,040
to have a straight
shot out to the road.
605
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:21,240
Whoo! Come on, baby.
606
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:24,960
But that takes Mitch right
back over the thin ice...
607
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:26,680
Come on!
608
00:41:26,720 --> 00:41:28,440
And the muck below.
609
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:36,120
Go, go, go!
Come on, oh, that's icy.
610
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:44,760
I'm not stopping.
611
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:49,640
There we go. That's what I'm talkin'
about.
612
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:55,000
I'm pumped up. The last thing
I wanted to do is, you know,
613
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:57,920
be sleeping in that truck and having
a camping night out in the woods.
614
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:11,600
Whoo! She's out.
615
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:15,960
We're out. It wasn't pretty,
but she's out. Perfect.
616
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:19,880
And today, success
comes with a lesson.
617
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:22,880
For it to be a car, and, you know,
in your head to be like,
618
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:26,000
"Oh, this is gonna be easy,"
is not the case.
619
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:30,000
I mean, we've rolled transport
trucks over, that went easier than
620
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:34,040
this car did. That's good. But, you
know, the job was to get the burnt
621
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:37,600
SUV out of the woods, and get it on
the truck, and that's where it is.
622
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:41,760
Alright, we're going home!
623
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:43,440
I think all in all,
that went pretty good.
624
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:46,480
