All language subtitles for Heavy Rescue 401 S06 E03_track3_[und]

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.
