KERRY SCHMIDT: Sounds like it is a massive wreck.

NARRATOR: This time on Heavy Rescue: 401...

Oh, wow!

Overpass crash...

We need to get this moved over immediately.

..overwhelms the highway.

We've got reports of a diesel spill.

Spilled fuel...

This guy made a mess a long way, man.

..spurs quick action...

It's gonna be a pain.

..and a hard pull...

..hits back

Come on, baby.

..harder.

In the heart of Toronto, roads are clear, and traffic is moving...

..but with 18 lanes pushing through the city,

the 401 can turn from quiet...

..to chaotic in an instant.

Heading to a collision,

401 eastbound at the Allen involving two transport trucks.

Just ahead of the morning commute,

Sergeant Kerry Schmidt approaches a scene that's stopped traffic cold.

Sounds like it is a massive wreck.

We're having a full closure right now, and it's stopping

all eastbound lanes and pushing them into the collectors.

This is gonna just cause a real logjam here of traffic,

and it's not even 6am yet.

Oh, wow! This is incredible.

I have never seen a truck as destroyed as this one.

The truck has just rammed up onto the concrete bridge,

there's pieces, there's steering axles, there's drive shafts...

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

It's unbelievable.

A transport truck that was coming down the 400

got damage to his windshield,

and that's the truck you see here on the shoulder, upright.

He kept driving until he could find a safe place

that he thought he could stop.

He was stopped here for about a minute until he heard and saw

a massive crash behind him,

and the second truck went into the crash cushion here,

mounted a median, and then hit the bridge abutment.

The driver of this truck has been taken to hospital.

I'm just amazed that he's actually still alive,

based on what I see at the scene.

Is there any truck debris in this mess,

or what are you actually mapping?

I'm just doing a big debris field.

With the driver suffering life-threatening injuries,

police investigators need to piece together exactly what happened here.

Here's the frame rail right here. Yeah.

Steering axle's right there. Wow!

I've been on the job for 20 years,

and I've seen dramatic, serious crashes,

but I couldn't recognize anything that's a truck.

Have you found the engine?

No, we didn't get that close. OK. It's unbelievable.

We need to be able to document as much as we can,

while keeping in mind that we need to get this highway open.

As morning traffic mounts,

the backup in the express lanes is stretching back through the city.

The more time that we have these backups,

the more risk and chances there are of a secondary crash.

200 miles away, at the western end of the 401...

..Derek Didone Senior is heading to his own urgent scene.

We got a call from the OPP.

We've got a jackknifed tractor- trailer up on County Road 42.

They've called for our environmental crew, too.

We've got a bit of fuel spilled.

Just a few miles behind, Eric Godard is on the way in a second rotator.

The highway is blocked.

It's going to kick a whole lot of extra traffic onto the 401

that is typically overrun with trucks as it is,

so they're going to definitely want the road open,

and we'll do anything we can to accommodate it.

Backing up the two veterans,

two more generations of the Didone family.

This is gonna be your first fuel spill.

We're in for a long night.

I hope you're ready for a little bit of work.

Tonight, Senior's son Dennis is bringing along his own son, Ethan.

It's my first time doing environmental work.

I'm pretty excited because I get to do a new thing. It's a new job.

He's been coming out with me on recoveries

since he was about two years old, honestly,

but this past year, with Covid, and the schools being shut down,

he's really been able to join the County-Coxon team.

With debris all over the highway,

this job will be a new test for a young operator in training.

It's gonna be a long clean-up tonight.

Not a quick one for sure. Oh, boy. Quite a mess.

Obviously this thing was full of fuel.

Let's rock.

A mini-van swerved into the semi,

forcing the truck into a jack-knife, rupturing its fuel tank,

and leaving a messy trail straight down the road.

Definitely spread it out.

Dennis's brothers, Daren and Derek Junior, are ready to get to work.

This can't all be diesel. Looks like it is.

Oh.

This guy made a mess a long way, man!

Most people call this Number 2 highway, or County Road 42.

It's an extremely busy road day and night,

and it's only one lane in either direction,

so it's not a roadway that they want closed for any length of time.

Is it still coming out? No.

It's important to go really quickly

because as soon as it soaks through that, that little berm of Oil Dri,

it's going to get into the ditch,

into the water system, and then you got a big environmental issue.

OK, you gotta clear this lane.

Soon as they get us a pathway, we'll go up.

Why don't me and you grab a couple rakes?

We'll do the shoulder so we can get up there.

Before we can actually start the recovery end of things,

we're going to throw a bunch of manpower, literally with brooms,

just pushing anything that can flat a tyre out of the way.

Definitely it's all hands on deck.

Whatever it takes to get the road open,

that's what we're going to do, right?

But with their path finally clear...

No! This is all fuel, eh? That's the hole right there.

..they find a second leak,

which will eat up time they just don't have.

It's one of those roads that just has to be open.

Are you kidding me?

At the Allen Road overpass on the 401...

..morning traffic is hitting a wall.

Right now rush hour is at its peak.

We have heavy traffic delays here. Two lanes getting by right now.

Everyone's slowing down to look.

It's a parking lot on the 401. Yeah.

We need to get this moved over immediately.

The police on scene need to get lanes moving.

We're just trying to get the three express lanes open,

so we're going to move everything into the crossover transfer lane.

So as soon as we get the truck off into the transfer lanes

and the collectors... Yeah.

..that's where you're gonna be doing your work,

and then we're gonna reopen the express lanes.

Yeah. That is the plan. OK. Wait! Are we OK?

The first step of the plan...

OK, go!

..pry the first truck free of the concrete to allow access...

OK, whoa!

..but for now, the second semi isn't going anywhere.

The investigators have to document, photograph, and inspect

as many components as they can, as they're spread out in front of them.

I don't know how they'll ever find it.

The engine control unit, or module,

could be the key to figuring out the cause of the crash.

Inside, these trucks record data, and that data, we can download,

and that will assist us in helping us understand what

was happening prior to, leading up, and even during the collision event.

Kerry's seen the value of the data firsthand on other collisions.

This situation here - we have vehicle speed, engine speed,

percent throttle, and brakes.

The digital data doesn't lie.

..but with the ECM buried somewhere in the destruction,

finding it won't be quick or easy.

We want to get this highway open as quickly as we can,

but obviously our investigation is a priority.

Trying to get some answers as to what took place,

why it happened, and obviously our thoughts are with

the injured driver who's in the hospital right now being cared for.

Back on County Road 42...

Eric and Senior are working to pump the remaining fuel

from the second damaged tank.

They can't begin the recovery until it's empty.

Basically if we don't get this cleaned up now,

it's going to be a disaster.

Just gotta get the suction right down to the bottom of the tank

so we can get every little bit we can.

The importance behind cleaning up the fuel spill is multidimensional:

all the fuel's going to be in the ditches,

next thing you know, it's in the river,

and you're killing the wildlife, you're killing the plants.

I sure wouldn't spread it on my baloney sandwich, I tell you that.

All pumped out!

Got almost a barrel. Really?

You need fuel? Drop it, open it up, let's get some fuel.

And just down the road...

Working with my dad is awesome! I wouldn't say awesome. (LAUGHS)

Dennis and Ethan are finishing their initial clean-up.

All right, just throw it up there now. We're gonna pack up the rescue.

We're going to clean up all the rest of that.

We're going to move up the road and do another section.

And seeing the young face in the crew

has Eric thinking about his own career.

There's nothing more important than passing on the knowledge

that you have to them; it's just a natural progression.

You know, a guy like Senior, and a guy like me, for sure, you know,

we're not going to be doing it forever,

and my career in the towing business is quickly coming to an end

as far as the way I feel and how much longer I think I can do it.

Ah, we're just trying to figure out what's in the trailer.

..but for tonight, Eric, and all the crew,

need to focus on the jack-knife.

We have no choice but to haul that trailer down the road,

so I'm going to make sure that the load is safe.

It could be anything.

(KNOCKING) I don't know what they are.

Auto parts, if there's anything in 'em.

Maybe just empty racks, then? Probably, yeah.

It's empty automotive racks,

so that gives us an idea of what kind of weight we're dealing with.

So, what do you think?

With an estimate of the weight, they can rig to pull the truck straight.

What we're going to do is spin 'er around, straighten 'er out a bit

so we can separate 'em, and, uh, then we'll tow 'em away.

Because it's in such a hard jack-knife,

the back axles are knocked out of it, so once we get

the tractor spun around to pull it away from the trailer,

we're definitely going to have to tow the tractor from the rear.

Good? OK.

Now they can release the tractor and pull it free of the trailer.

We're gonna separate it right now.

Hey, Senior! I don't know if you've seen what was over here. Yeah?

You only got one leg. There's only one on there?

Oh, I pulled the pin. My bad, missing that.

I put the dollies down,

and I didn't realize the other side snapped right off.

The only thing holding up are these crossbars.

This part's ripped right off here. It's not attached.

When the tractor-trailer jack-knifed,

the truck come all the way around.

Typically, your fuel tank will get punctured from the trailer leg,

and in this case, it also busted the leg off the trailer.

That means if we pull this thing over right now

we're gonna have a rolled-over trailer

as opposed to just a slightly damaged trailer.

It's snapped right off, ain't it?

Yeah, it's gone. There's no leg left.

Pull the tractor out, the trailer's gonna end up flipping over.

So we gotta be really careful now.

Hey, Senior! There isn't a leg.

It's gone. there's no leg there.

On the county road in Lakeshore...

It's snapped right off.

..the County-Coxon crew has straightened the jack-knife,

but now they're facing a potential rollover.

So we gotta be really careful now.

There's a real danger of the trailer rolling over

if we try to put the actual trailer weight on the legs.

..but they need to pull out the tractor.

The leg is not attached at all.

All right, so why don't we just reverse.

I'll grab the trailer, you'll have to hold it,

and then I can get under the trailer.

Unless you want me to stick with the trailer,

and you put your truck on an angle there,

and grab that side of the wheel.

And hold it while you grab it? Yeah. OK, let's do that.

Senior will support the trailer,

holding it upright, while Eric hooks to the tractor and pulls it away.

Then, he can return to hook up and tow away the trailer.

You good?

..but the plan is far from failsafe.

Even with my truck underneath holding it, it can slide,

it can move when you pull the tractor away from it.

You do have to take your time and pull it away slowly.

OK! That's good.

Just pull it a little bit tight, and back it off once.

With Eric hooked on, Senior can ease out his wheel lift.

Can you watch that side? I'm coming in Yeah!

The semi is clear, the road is clean...

OK, pull it tight, Ethan.

..and the crew is on their way.

Now we're out of here.

It's good. Time to go home and get some sleep.

It feels real good to be packing up and getting out of here.

And even as Eric starts to eye the end of his days on the road,

this morning, he got a glimpse into the future.

Seeing the three generations of Didone boys working the highway,

you know, it's encouraging for me.

I've put a major chunk of my life at it,

so it makes me feel good to see them trying to grow it,

and trying to make sure that it does outlast guys like me.

My favourite part about being in my truck,

no one else is allowed in my truck, so I don't need a mask.

Back in Toronto, all eastbound traffic

is still funnelling into the collector lanes...

..but in the race to reopen...

OK, go!

..police investigators still need to pinpoint

one crucial piece of the puzzle.

The ECM has data that no one else will be able to help us with.

We need to find the ECM, and hope that this ECM is still intact.

There is nothing left of that trailer,

and I don't even know if it's gonna stay upright.

We know there's congestion,

and we know there's pressure to get these highways open.

We have a job to do, and that's to investigate this crash,

to understand what took place.

We also have to reopen this highway as quickly as we can.

So, what's the plan for the tractor?

On a float? Have you seen where the motor is?

Wow!

OK.

If I hadn't seen the trailer attached to it,

I wouldn't even that that was the cab. I know.

It's mind-boggling to think that there was a driver in there

that they were able to cut out and, uh, transport to hospital.

I know!

Now that they've exposed the front of the tractor,

the investigators can make a thorough final search.

Right now, our hope is that that engine control module

is still gonna be intact, and that we'll be able to recover

some of the data that's stored within it.

So, you found the ECM? Yes, we did.

OK, and it looks like it's intact?

It appears, from what we can see, it appears to be.

We'll know more once we get it actually rolled over. OK.

It's amazing that they were able to locate that module intact.

ECM's right here... Oh, there it is, OK.

I want to take these connectors with it in case we need to use those.

Yeah, yeah. So I'll cut the harness with it,

and we're able to rewire it on our own to get the information.

Right now, the driver's in the hospital, fighting for his life.

That engine control module may hold the vital pieces of information that

we need to explain to him what took place, and maybe we can understand

how we can prevent something like this from happening again.

With the vital unit now in police hands...

..crews can finally clear the scene, and clear out of these lanes.

It has been a long time coming from 1:00 this morning

when the crash happened till now around noon,

when we're getting the highways re-opened completely.

Really good news for everyone who's been stuck in traffic.

Almost 200 miles southwest...

..a night of intense squalls has led to a rough morning on the 402.

Just got a call from a customer,

we've got a tractor-trailer that's gone down in the ditch.

We've got a lot of equipment coming out to this job.

It's gonna be a busy day.

Gary Vandenheuvel and his crew have to wrestle the truck

and both its trailers upright.

It's even tough to get in this one.

Here comes Collin. Oh, man.

My dad's getting comfortable with me in the rotator.

He's been letting me take the lead on a lot more.

OK, you want to do a walkabout? Yup, let's do that.

This year, Collin's also taken on part ownership in the company,

prepping for the day when he takes over.

He's learned a lot of things over the years now,

and it's nice to see him step into a leadership role.

Soft-sided trailer, press board. Heavy, heavy stuff.

This job is a very unique job. One day is not like the next.

Whether it's the rigging, whether it's the weights, whether it's just,

you know, the natural environment you're dealing with.

You know, there's so many elements that change this job

and make it different and challenging.

It'll be about 140 with the entire truck trailer and load

so I don't anticipate that if we tried to upright this that it would,

uh... I don't think it would hold even the straps on it.

It's not a hard-sided trailer. It's actually a tarped trailer.

This poses great challenges for us.

There'll be no way of uprighting it with the load still attached.

It's just way too heavy.

What I'm thinking is, we'll get the skid-steer in, get underneath,

get some lift on it, get a strap around it, rotator, pick it up...

OK. Yeah. ..swing it out.

If they start coming apart... Then it's gonna be a pain. Yeah.

Do what we can do.

It's gonna be a big fight to get it up and over.

It's gonna be a... a long day today. Oh, boy.

East of Sarnia on Highway 402,

Gary and crew need to lighten their load...

I'm gonna just try and cut one of these straps.

I'm hoping that it doesn't fall over.

..to have any hope to upright the heavy B-train.

It's not a hard-sided trailer. It's actually a tarped trailer.

That's pretty tight.

There'll be no way of uprighting it with the load still attached.

It's just way too heavy.

A lot of pressure under that strap.

Perfect.

..but offloading close to 100,000 pounds of press board...

My knight in shining armour has arrived.

..will take a little more muscle.

Kyle is here.

The whole thing is a challenge.

The truck is probably grossing 140,000-150,000 pounds.

I'll run 'er down.

It's pressboard bundles that are probably

3,000 or 4,000 pounds per bundle.

I'm not going to lie. I'm not looking forward to it.

Guide me under this puppy. OK.

Little slippery!

I think I'm fighting that a bit.

Can you get anything under that, so I can get further under?

I just don't know if I can get anything down there.

The muddy ground is making it impossible

to get under the load.

We gotta figure this out.

Yeah, it's... This is not the ideal situation right here.

It's full of mud and slush right now.

Nothing's really working for us. It just wants to come apart.

It's gonna fight us, isn't it?

Someone needs to find a more efficient way

to separate the load from the trailer.

What if we just cut the rails on this side of the, the tarp?

Everything on this side's gonna stay where it is.

We don't have to cut anything on the bottom side.

We just flip this over, drag this thing out, and

all we have to do is come in with the skid-steer and pick them up.

Collin's come up with a really good idea.

OK, let's try it.

They'll cut the rails restraining the cargo,

then use low lines from both rotators to pull

the truck and trailers upright, easing free from the heavy load.

Hopefully because this is already starting to lean this way,

it's going to wanna keep travelling that way.

OK, I'm going in to cut some straps.

You're going to start cutting? OK, everyone stand back.

You got fire?

Watch the sparks, Gary.

We're gonna leave the front portion of the load on each trailer.

Trying to save some time, right?

The less we have to pick up, the better off we're going to be.

Just getting concerned. We're midday right now.

Sun goes down early,

so I really don't want to be working out here in the dark.

I need these, uh, snatch blocks hooked up,

and the same thing done here.

You guys ready to roll 'er? I'm thinking so.

Go ahead.

It does pose a bit of a challenge

when you're uprighting that kind of weight off the legs.

Pull that front end over, just to start.

OK, let's get the other ones coming. Go ahead, Kyle.

Let's start bringing it down if you can.

Come on.

It's already starting to slide me sideways. Keep going.

Oh! Hold for a second. Yeah.

Even with the rails cut, the load is refusing to let go.

Because we had to run the low lines to the stiff legs,

that creates a lot of resistance on our end,

and it actually wants to pull our trucks towards the load,

instead of pulling the load towards us.

Go ahead.

One piece at a time. Can you touch that back one, Collin? Yeah.

If you don't get this right,

you're gonna slide the rotators closer and closer to the ditch,

and the truck and the trailer are gonna go back down.

Oh, you bastard, sit down. It's going there.

OK, get 'er going.

(GROANING)

OK, a little more on your one there.

Just gonna work a little bit at a time.

Yup.

Come on, baby.

Come on.

Hold for me. Hold on, hold on. OK, I'm maxing 'er.

Here we go. Bring 'er over, bring 'er over. Bring 'er over.

Bring 'er over. Oh, there she comes.

Come on. There we go.

Ooh, whee!

It's a pretty tricky and challenging game

that you're playing, but when you get it right it's a great feeling.

Well, it fought us quite a bit, but we got her over.

If we can keep these on, you know,

that's going to save us a lot of clean-up,

'cause that's three extra pallets that we don't have to pick back up.

Now that the B-train is on its wheels,

the crew can pull it onto the road.

Coll, get me an endless loop.

I'm going to put one on this side, and a chain,

we'll hook to the bottom side,

and we'll pull 'er the rest of the way up.

Collin, he's going to take the lead on this one.

I'm going to hold on to the rear trailer and keep it upright.

He's going to pull the front of this tractor,

and guide it up and out of the ditch.

OK, that should work. Snug it up!

OK, hold on... OK. I'm clear.

OK, let's tighten those all up.

Pull on the front end, if you have to.

Collin will have to be cautious about the angle of his pull

on the bumper's tow pin...

I don't want to pull too hard, 'cause it's a pretty sideways pull.

..and his own position is another concern.

The remote's going kind of haywire.

It's not connecting to the truck right now,

so I'm having to operate actually off the side of the truck.

I can't work from a safe distance away,

so I'm facing down the barrel of a gun.

It's coming over for you now, Coll?

Yeah, the front end's coming.

OK, you're good, Coll.

OK, you're good, Coll.

On Highway 402, Collin and crew just need to coax

the B-train the final stretch onto the pavement.

I'm facing down the barrel of a gun.

(BLEEP) sakes! You OK? Yup.

All of a sudden, there's just this extremely loud bang.

It happened so fast.

That was an extremely close call.

You OK? Yeah. OK.

Just gonna be bruised there.

Quick reflexes saved Collin from the worst.

Did it get ya? Oh, yeah.

What got it? The chain.

The chain? OK.

..but the effect on Collin and his father is beyond just the physical.

We have the fail of the pull pin. To me, it's not acceptable.

I calculate everything, the risk, our weights that we're dealing with,

the pulls that we have on things, because I have to protect my people,

and especially my son.

The way we had it, that pin should not have broke.

We didn't have any side pull on it. It was a straight pull.

Just a good reminder of what kind of force we're dealing with

on these trucks.

That's a major failure.

The pin itself weighs probably 30-40 pounds, plus the chain,

which weighs another 40-50 pounds.

That's a lot of force there.

There's going to be a bruise on there.

See all that rust in there? Yeah.

That pin was no good.

The pin came from the truck that we were pulling out but it looked fine.

That's not right that it's that rusted in there.

That pin's got a lot of problems, so...

It was something I would never have predicted.

I don't have x-ray vision.

I'm gonna feel that tomorrow.

We work really hard to make sure that that doesn't happen,

and it did.

It is part of the dangers of the job, but I hate it when it happens.

You gotta get over it and move on.

Move to the next mission.

My family's the most important thing in my life.

Everything else is secondary, so, you know, it's... it's tough.

It's tough to watch this and go through this.

Can I get somebody to help me for a second, please.

Yeah.

So you tackle flat surfaces.

When you get to the curves, just let me handle all that by hand. OK.

100 miles south, Ethan Didone has been working to

become a bigger part of his family's company...

It's looking really good. Yeah.

..but today, the action is away from the road.

Ethan's got his car, so we're going to make it look nice for the road.

I wanted to get my own car, but like from money from working.

It's coming out really good.

Working on these cars is definitely a family tradition.

I can remember being his age,

and Senior was doing the same thing for me.

It's a good way to bond.

It's a legacy for them to carry on, and something to be proud of.

And it's a chance for Senior to make up for some lost time

when his own sons were growing up.

I was a lot younger starting County Towing,

and when the boys were small,

thank God their mother took them to a lot of their baseball, and hockey,

and camping, where at that point I missed all that with the boys.

You're doing this whole... this whole panel black?

This whole roof square, yeah.

Now having time to do it with all my grandsons, it's kind of a payback,

I guess, for me that now I can spend some time, and do it with them.

This'll be red. This'll be black.

Like, the whole squared-off piece? Yeah.

It seems like towing runs through their veins.

Will Ethan be a good tower?

I guess it's something we're gonna see

come out in the future, and what happens happens.

Three different generations three different things,

trust me. (LAUGHS)

Can we get rid of that chain, please?

Anything that's not being used, get it out of here. Let's go.

Back on the 402...

Straight to that corner there.

..the Preferred crew is rerigging and trying to rebound.

Slide that all the way up. I don't want this thing catching.

We got two lines on the front now.

We'll have one line on the back. We'll make this thing move.

Hopefully, uh, it doesn't want to play games anymore.

We brought in one of our own hooks that we were familiar with.

OK, Collin, let's ease into it, see what it does.

Are you moving, Collin?

Yeah. I got a pretty good pull on it right now.

It's nerve-racking going back to the controls and knowing that

that was that close of a call to being seriously hurt or killed.

Stop.

How hard are you pulling?

I'm stalling it. I'm not playing this game again. OK.

OK.

Everybody clear?

As they inch the trailers up, the mucky terrain is still holding on.

We're dealing with a lot of weight here.

We're dealing with the mud, the snow,

and these trailers are just sinking as we're pulling on them.

..and the remaining top-heavy cargo is leaning back down the slope.

It is rolling backwards.

This thing's just fighting us all the way to the top of the ditch.

It just does not want to play nice.

Somebody watch the back of that trailer for me,

make sure it's not rolling.

It's lifting the tyre here.

Am I gonna fall over? Hold on!

Hold on! Those wheels are coming up pretty good.

Am I gonna fall over? I think so. It's lifting.

Damn, no matter where I go on this, it keeps sliding.

Just east of Sarnia, a shaken crew

is still fighting a stubborn set of trailers.

I'll bring the skid steer up,

we'll put the skid steer with the strap over on that side if I can,

and we'll just hold it.

What was that, guys?

I don't know why, I'm a little jumpy right now.

I think we're still kind of blown away

that this whole thing has even happened.

For my dad, especially,

he's always worried about myself and everyone else on the crew.

I think that does bother him.

Coming through, guys. Get out of my way, and stay off the road.

So Gary is determined to finish this job right now.

Collin, you want to hook into the chain somewhere

that's not gonna bend anything.

The rear there with all the weight on the back

is trying to haul over on us,

so just need that extra piece of equipment here to hold on.

Coll... Yeah.

Why don't you run this truck, I'll run...

I got the remote out for you here.

I want to get a feel for what that's doing.

My dad wants to be on the front.

I think he's just trying to take me out of the,

the more dangerous situation.

OK, I'm going to give it a pull. Right.

It's starting to lift it. Just watch it. It should be fine.

What was that? That was the chain jumping here.

Still good? Yeah, still good.

Just keep it going like that. You're doing great, guys.

Let off there, Kyle. Nice.

There we go. It's starting to come back up.

You're good.

It's out now. Wasn't the way I wanted it to go,

that's for sure, but sometimes these things happen.

It's nice to have this thing back up on the road,

and now we can get it out of here,

so, yeah, it's, uh, it's a nice feeling.

It's a lot of work, though. We're tired.

OK, let's get this thing hooked up, ready to tow home.

We got this unit up onto the road,

but I'm not going to say it feels like a win on this one.

Boom over. Slide the boom back this way.

As a dad, you're always worried about your son.

He's doing what he wants to do,

but when I see something like this has happened,

then obviously, you know, my heart sinks.

Hey, Dad? Yes.

Here. Just run that through yours. Yep.

Yeah, it's just one of those days you just...

..really want to rethink your career path. (LAUGHS)

I don't want to see it happen to anybody.

To watch it happen to my son, yeah,

it's difficult to see, but we have to improve on it.

We're gonna make sure that this doesn't happen again.

It's a lesson that he'll take with him.

He can make this job safer, and he can bring that to other operators.

He'll only get better at this than I ever was.
