   ...isn't getting traction.   

145
00:09:03,843 --> 00:09:05,411
      [Sim] We're going to      
        have to re-think        

146
00:09:05,411 --> 00:09:06,979
  what we're going to do here.  

147
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,149
  [Narrator] With a mail truck  
         on the line...         

148
00:09:10,149 --> 00:09:11,017
   [Kirpal] What do you think?  

149
00:09:11,017 --> 00:09:12,151
     [Narrator] ...Kirpal...    

150
00:09:12,151 --> 00:09:13,419
          [Ty] I think          
        you go high-line,       

151
00:09:13,419 --> 00:09:15,121
     because you're pulling     
      too much back, right?     

152
00:09:15,121 --> 00:09:16,455
          Yeah, that's          
      what I was thinking.      

153
00:09:16,455 --> 00:09:17,590
 If you go back up to your top, 
      you'll dig in harder.     

154
00:09:17,590 --> 00:09:18,858
         Do the shackle?        

155
00:09:18,858 --> 00:09:20,860
     [Narrator] ...checks in    
     with the Reliable crew.    

156
00:09:20,860 --> 00:09:22,895
      -Let's go to the top.     
             -Yeah.             

157
00:09:22,895 --> 00:09:24,897
      [Ty] What we wanna do     

158
00:09:24,897 --> 00:09:26,165
      is put the high lines     
  on the back of the trailer... 

159
00:09:27,066 --> 00:09:29,168
    [Kirpal] Okay, let's put    
         those hooks on.        

160
00:09:29,168 --> 00:09:32,838
   [Ty] ...so we actually get   
     the weight of the wreck    

161
00:09:32,838 --> 00:09:34,707
     putting that force down    
   on the back of the wrecker.  

162
00:09:40,112 --> 00:09:42,181
     Okay, that's fine now.     

163
00:09:42,181 --> 00:09:43,616
     [Kirpal] It's teamwork.    

164
00:09:43,616 --> 00:09:44,951
         We don't argue.        

165
00:09:44,951 --> 00:09:48,688
 Whatever the decision, we make,
       and we agree to it.      

166
00:09:55,928 --> 00:09:58,798
        Yes, it's coming!       

167
00:10:02,668 --> 00:10:05,137
           [Narrator]           
  ...but there's a new problem. 

168
00:10:05,137 --> 00:10:06,339
        [Kirpal] Come on.       

169
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,911
     [Ty] The biggest thing     
 that's concerning me right now 

170
00:10:11,911 --> 00:10:13,079
  is the angle of the trailer.  

171
00:10:14,547 --> 00:10:17,216
    Now that we switched them   
 from low lines to high lines...

172
00:10:19,085 --> 00:10:20,086
      it's starting to tip.     

173
00:10:21,387 --> 00:10:22,888
      [Andy] Hold on here,      

174
00:10:22,888 --> 00:10:24,290
       we're going to lose      
          this trailer.         

175
00:10:24,290 --> 00:10:27,093
     We don't want this mail    
         to be scattered        

176
00:10:27,093 --> 00:10:28,127
      all over the highway.     

177
00:10:29,695 --> 00:10:30,896
             -Whoa!             
             -Whoa!             

178
00:10:35,968 --> 00:10:37,503
           [Narrator]           
     In the Fraser Canyon...    

179

           -[scraping]          
       -[Kirpal] Come on.       

180
00:10:40,539 --> 00:10:42,742
 [Narrator] ...MSA and Reliable 

181
00:10:42,742 --> 00:10:44,143
        are wrestling...        

182
00:10:44,143 --> 00:10:45,511
      [Andy] Hold on here,      

183
00:10:45,511 --> 00:10:46,846
     or we're going to lose     
          this trailer.         

184
00:10:46,846 --> 00:10:48,481
           [Narrator]           
   ...with a tippy mail truck.  

185
00:10:48,481 --> 00:10:49,815
           -[scraping]          
             -Whoa!             

186
00:10:49,815 --> 00:10:50,816
     Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.    

187
00:10:50,816 --> 00:10:52,585
    [Sim] The highway's icy,    

188
00:10:52,585 --> 00:10:54,053
          which is why          
      the truck and trailer     

189
00:10:54,053 --> 00:10:54,887
       went off the road.       

190
00:10:55,888 --> 00:10:57,423
    [Narrator] This curve...    

191
00:11:00,459 --> 00:11:02,828
   [Narrator] ...is notorious.  

192
00:11:02,828 --> 00:11:04,130
    This is Killers' Corner.    

193
00:11:07,566 --> 00:11:09,969
        It's taken many,        
   many lives over the years.   

194
00:11:11,303 --> 00:11:14,640
  There's a straight drop-off.  

195
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:16,275
     A lot of trucks end up     
         over the edge.         

196
00:11:22,381 --> 00:11:23,516
       [Narrator] Tonight,      

197
00:11:23,516 --> 00:11:26,285
      the driver was lucky.     

198
00:11:26,285 --> 00:11:27,987
          [Ty] Kirpal?          

199
00:11:27,987 --> 00:11:29,588
    Can you boom down a bit?    

200
00:11:29,588 --> 00:11:30,723
            We've got           
     too much of this pull.     

201
00:11:30,723 --> 00:11:32,558
         We need to let         
     the trailer down a bit.    

202
00:11:32,558 --> 00:11:33,726
         I will do that.        

203
00:11:33,726 --> 00:11:35,895
  [Narrator] Kirpal adapts....  

204
00:11:35,895 --> 00:11:37,697
              [Ty]              
  We're almost up on the road.  

205
00:11:37,697 --> 00:11:41,867
   [Narrator] ...to stabilize   
     the tilting trailer...     

206
00:11:41,867 --> 00:11:43,102
  Now it's touching the ground. 

207
00:11:44,336 --> 00:11:45,371
        [Ty] There we go.       

208
00:11:47,740 --> 00:11:49,208
      [Ty] You wanna move?      

209
00:11:49,208 --> 00:11:50,710
  [Kirpal] Yeah, I'll move now. 

210
00:11:50,710 --> 00:11:53,913
    It's really good to work    
       with other company.      

211
00:11:53,913 --> 00:11:56,716
          We can unhook         
     from the back anyways.     

212
00:11:56,716 --> 00:11:57,583
    And we'll grab the front.   

213
00:11:57,583 --> 00:11:59,418
  You hook up to Andy's stuff.  

214
00:11:59,418 --> 00:12:00,986
             -Yeah.             
     -We'll grab the front.     

215
00:12:00,986 --> 00:12:03,923
       You can learn a lot      
     from their experience.     

216
00:12:03,923 --> 00:12:05,091
           Okay, sure.          

217
00:12:05,091 --> 00:12:06,559
  [Narrator] ...but the tractor 

218
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,195
   is still far down the bank.  

219
00:12:10,529 --> 00:12:11,530
           One wrecker          

220
00:12:11,530 --> 00:12:14,066
      will pull the drives      
         of the tractor,        

221
00:12:14,066 --> 00:12:16,235
      and the other will go     
        on the front end,       

222
00:12:16,235 --> 00:12:19,271
          and hopefully         
      we can muscle it out.     

223
00:12:19,271 --> 00:12:21,440
 [Sim] Each wreck is different. 

224
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,075
           You always           
     have to try new things.    

225
00:12:35,421 --> 00:12:36,889
           Thank you.           

226
00:12:51,103 --> 00:12:52,772
    [Narrator] To the east...   

227
00:12:54,073 --> 00:12:55,307
          [Jamie] Wow.          

228
00:12:57,276 --> 00:12:58,544
     [Narrator] ...Jamie...     

229
00:12:58,544 --> 00:13:00,212
      That's really tough.      

230
00:13:05,084 --> 00:13:07,186
           [Narrator]           
      ...and the rotator...     

231
00:13:08,387 --> 00:13:11,824
 have reached their destination.

232
00:13:11,824 --> 00:13:13,259
  [Jamie] The truck and trailer 

233
00:13:13,259 --> 00:13:14,393
      has been in the ditch     
        for a day or so.        

234
00:13:15,361 --> 00:13:16,629
       I don't know here.       

235
00:13:16,629 --> 00:13:17,663
  Let's go have a look at this. 

236
00:13:21,100 --> 00:13:24,336
    Dry van, they don't have    
     much structure to them.    

237
00:13:25,337 --> 00:13:26,906
    He drove off to the side,   

238
00:13:26,906 --> 00:13:30,342
     thinking he was driving    
     into the scale, and...     

239
00:13:30,342 --> 00:13:31,644
        didn't work out.        

240
00:13:31,644 --> 00:13:34,413
           [Narrator]           
   Jamie has been informed...   

241
00:13:34,413 --> 00:13:35,414
     [Jamie] This is tough.     

242
00:13:35,414 --> 00:13:36,816
           [Narrator]           
      ...that the transport     

243
00:13:36,816 --> 00:13:40,319
       has a partial load       
         of mixed goods.        

244
00:13:40,319 --> 00:13:43,422
    If we put too much force    
           against it,          

245
00:13:43,422 --> 00:13:45,491
       we're either gonna       
       crush the trailer,       

246
00:13:45,491 --> 00:13:47,193
          or the load's         
     gonna fall through it.     

247
00:13:48,227 --> 00:13:50,629
           [Narrator]           
  For the delicate rollover...  

248
00:13:50,629 --> 00:13:53,666
 [Jamie] So what we do on these 
     is we go around here...    

249
00:13:53,666 --> 00:13:55,034
     Yup, and go all the way    
         up and around.         

250
00:13:55,034 --> 00:13:55,968
        ...and then back.       

251
00:13:55,968 --> 00:13:57,236
              Yeah.             

252
00:13:57,236 --> 00:13:59,138
       [Narrator] ...Jamie      
      needs the rigging...      

253
00:13:59,138 --> 00:14:00,306
    I'll have to get up top.    

254
00:14:00,306 --> 00:14:04,376
       [Narrator] ...to be      
      strategically placed.     

255
00:14:04,376 --> 00:14:06,111
              Okay.             

256
00:14:06,111 --> 00:14:07,780
        [Jamie] The doors       
     and its surround frame     

257
00:14:07,780 --> 00:14:09,815
        are very strong.        

258
00:14:10,983 --> 00:14:12,451
     Yeah, it's good there.     

259
00:14:12,451 --> 00:14:15,487
     That's the first place     
       I go to every time.      

260
00:14:16,455 --> 00:14:17,723
    [Narrator] Joining Jamie    

261
00:14:17,723 --> 00:14:19,258
      in a heavy wrecker...     

262
00:14:19,258 --> 00:14:21,060
      There's Mitch coming.

 [Narrator] ...long haul driver 
       turned operator...       

264
00:14:24,530 --> 00:14:26,565
 Don't see any structural damage
          or anything.          

265
00:14:26,565 --> 00:14:27,633
   [Narrator] ...Mitch Mahood.  

266
00:14:27,633 --> 00:14:29,335
         [Mitch Mahood]         
    When you work for Jamie,    

267
00:14:29,335 --> 00:14:32,371
  you've got to prove yourself. 

268
00:14:32,371 --> 00:14:33,339
  Now I've got my opportunity.  

269
00:14:33,339 --> 00:14:36,041
      So we'll go down low.     

270
00:14:36,041 --> 00:14:39,478
      I want to have Mitch      
  grab the tractor's front end. 

271
00:14:40,679 --> 00:14:42,581
 We need one more snatch block. 

272
00:14:42,581 --> 00:14:45,351
     What we're trying to do    
 is what we call a power buckle.

273
00:14:47,386 --> 00:14:49,355
     [Narrator] With a line     
        from the rotator        

274
00:14:49,355 --> 00:14:52,124
   to the back of the trailer,  

275
00:14:52,124 --> 00:14:54,093
       the 25-tonne heavy       

276
00:14:54,093 --> 00:14:57,162
      will pull two points,     

277
00:14:57,162 --> 00:14:58,597
      initiating the roll.      

278
00:15:02,368 --> 00:15:04,169
     [Jamie] Mitch's truck,     

279
00:15:04,169 --> 00:15:05,271
  it'll actually act as a lever 

280
00:15:05,271 --> 00:15:07,239
  on the front of the trailer.  

281
00:15:08,741 --> 00:15:09,742
       There you go, yeah.      

282
00:15:09,742 --> 00:15:11,477
    Then there, right there.    

283
00:15:12,611 --> 00:15:13,879
            Perfect.            

284
00:15:15,447 --> 00:15:18,884
       [Jamie] We can put       
  a lot of power into flipping  

285
00:15:18,884 --> 00:15:20,719
     without actually going     
       around the trailer.      

286
00:15:21,787 --> 00:15:23,756
   Yeah, right there, perfect.  

287
00:15:23,756 --> 00:15:26,091
   I got, like, that pre-stage  
      jitters sorta thing.      

288
00:15:29,495 --> 00:15:31,130
   So now suck your lines up,   

289
00:15:31,130 --> 00:15:32,898
  and do as much as you can do. 

290
00:15:32,898 --> 00:15:34,900
        If you slide back       
    a little bit, just stop.    

291
00:15:34,900 --> 00:15:36,936
       [Mitch] I'm just...      

292
00:15:36,936 --> 00:15:38,570
         a little uneasy        
    about how it's gonna go.    

293
00:15:43,976 --> 00:15:46,078
      Mitch has kinda moved     
     into a different world.    

294
00:15:46,078 --> 00:15:47,947
    Okay, you're done, right?   

295
00:15:47,947 --> 00:15:49,248
         He hasn't done         
   a lot of recovery work yet.  

296
00:15:50,416 --> 00:15:51,650
              Yeah.             

297
00:15:56,488 --> 00:16:00,426
  [Jamie] He said it's only got 
         15,000 pounds,         

298
00:16:00,426 --> 00:16:03,495
      so we should be okay.     

299
00:16:03,495 --> 00:16:06,899
     [Jamie] If it's light,     
     like the customer says,    

300
00:16:06,899 --> 00:16:07,933
     we could pull this off.    

301
00:16:09,935 --> 00:16:11,570
    You've got to be careful    
           with this.           

302
00:16:11,570 --> 00:16:14,673
 This thing could go very bad...
           in a hurry.          

303
00:16:17,843 --> 00:16:19,445
        Whoa, whoa, whoa!       

304
00:16:19,445 --> 00:16:20,512
           Whoa! Stop!          

305
00:16:26,819 --> 00:16:28,620
           [Narrator]           
    On a mountain highway...    

306
00:16:28,620 --> 00:16:29,888
        Whoa, whoa, whoa!       

307
00:16:31,657 --> 00:16:34,293
           [Narrator]           
     ...a tricky rollover...    

308
00:16:34,293 --> 00:16:35,828
          [Jamie] Whoa!         

309
00:16:35,828 --> 00:16:37,062
              Stop!             

310
00:16:38,297 --> 00:16:39,498
        What's it doing?        

311
00:16:39,498 --> 00:16:42,735
           [Narrator]           
     ...isn't going to plan.    

312
00:16:44,436 --> 00:16:46,071
      It's pulling too much     
          on the wall.          

313
00:16:46,071 --> 00:16:48,907
           [Narrator]           
    Jamie needs to retool...    

314
00:16:50,876 --> 00:16:53,078
     You really can't afford    
   to make any mistakes here.   

315
00:16:53,078 --> 00:16:54,346
      [Jamie] So like this.     

316
00:16:54,346 --> 00:16:55,481
      There's a box, right?     

317
00:16:55,481 --> 00:16:57,683
    If I put the strap here,    
         it'll go there,        

318
00:16:57,683 --> 00:16:59,184
   it'll make a nice triangle.  

319
00:16:59,184 --> 00:17:03,055
      So it's a little bit      
      of roadside physics.      

320
00:17:03,055 --> 00:17:05,491
     [Jamie] The side-walls     
         are paper-thin,        

321
00:17:05,491 --> 00:17:06,592
     the roof is paper-thin.    

322
00:17:07,860 --> 00:17:10,262
      Okay, and then this,      

323
00:17:10,262 --> 00:17:11,163
      when I'm lifting up,      

324
00:17:11,163 --> 00:17:12,164
  should be right about there.  

325
00:17:12,164 --> 00:17:13,065
              Okay.             

326
00:17:15,934 --> 00:17:17,936
           [Narrator]           
   With the strap repositioned  

327
00:17:17,936 --> 00:17:20,672
     around the back corner,    

328
00:17:20,672 --> 00:17:22,241
        the L.A. rotator        

329
00:17:22,241 --> 00:17:24,243
      will lift the trailer     

330
00:17:24,243 --> 00:17:28,380
      until a second strap      
   can be added to the front.   

331
00:17:30,883 --> 00:17:32,584
     [Rob] You go lift it up    
          a little bit.         

332
00:17:32,584 --> 00:17:33,952
              Okay.             

333
00:17:33,952 --> 00:17:35,788
     [Jamie] With the strap,    

334
00:17:35,788 --> 00:17:36,889
    if you do it on an angle,   

335
00:17:36,889 --> 00:17:37,956
   it's more like a big hand.   

336
00:17:41,393 --> 00:17:42,728
           Looks good.          

337
00:17:44,396 --> 00:17:45,531
            Oh, yeah.           

338
00:17:45,531 --> 00:17:48,801
     [Jamie] You're grabbing    
       more surface area,       

339
00:17:48,801 --> 00:17:49,635
         more structure.        

340
00:17:50,903 --> 00:17:53,105
     We're getting more gap.    

341
00:17:53,105 --> 00:17:54,173
     Let's see if we can get    
      that one underneath.      

342
00:17:54,173 --> 00:17:55,374
              Yeah.             

343
00:17:55,374 --> 00:17:58,110
           [Narrator]           
  Now another strap is added... 

344
00:17:58,110 --> 00:17:59,111
        Can you see that?       

345
00:17:59,111 --> 00:18:00,779
           [Narrator]           
     ...to distribute force     

346
00:18:00,779 --> 00:18:02,815
       over a larger area.      

347
00:18:02,815 --> 00:18:04,116
             Got it!            

348
00:18:04,116 --> 00:18:07,419
  [Jamie] It's all about having 
    multiple pressure points    

349
00:18:07,419 --> 00:18:08,654
 against the side of the trailer

350
00:18:08,654 --> 00:18:09,888
       that you're lifting      
         and pulling on.        

351
00:18:14,593 --> 00:18:16,295
          [Rob] Got it?         

352
00:18:16,295 --> 00:18:17,262
           Here we go.          

353
00:18:18,831 --> 00:18:19,832
         [Jamie] Ready?         

354
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:22,468
          [Mitch] Yup.          

355
00:18:24,236 --> 00:18:25,504
     All right, here we go.     

356
00:18:28,674 --> 00:18:31,143
   [Jamie] It's coming up now.  

357
00:18:37,950 --> 00:18:39,852
           Be careful.          

358
00:18:41,620 --> 00:18:42,654
 There's a balancing act there. 

359
00:18:44,189 --> 00:18:46,291
   Pull as hard as you can...   

360
00:18:47,493 --> 00:18:48,694
    but don't pull too hard.    

361
00:18:52,431 --> 00:18:53,866
         Here she comes.        

362
00:18:55,534 --> 00:18:58,704
           [Narrator]           
 The trailer and its mixed load 

363
00:18:58,704 --> 00:19:00,372
           are landed.          

364
00:19:01,974 --> 00:19:04,009
        Just keep going.        

365
00:19:04,009 --> 00:19:06,678
        [Narrator] Now...       

366
00:19:06,678 --> 00:19:08,714
      it's all up to Mitch.     

367
00:19:11,450 --> 00:19:12,651
  Oh, yeah, the pressure's on.  

368
00:19:13,485 --> 00:19:15,354
      [Jamie] And just try      
   to dance that front end up.  

369
00:19:21,727 --> 00:19:23,662
       [Narrator] Jamie...      

370
00:19:23,662 --> 00:19:26,131
   [Jamie] A little bit more.   

371
00:19:26,131 --> 00:19:28,901
           [Narrator]           
    ...is keeping a close eye   

372
00:19:28,901 --> 00:19:31,503
       on the tight space.      

373
00:19:33,972 --> 00:19:35,507
            Hold it!            

374
00:19:36,475 --> 00:19:37,509
      [Jamie] We don't want     
       to block the road.       

375
00:19:37,509 --> 00:19:38,677
 We want to keep traffic moving.

376
00:19:41,079 --> 00:19:42,915
  [Jamie] 10 to 20 feet ahead.  

377
00:19:42,915 --> 00:19:44,016
          [Mitch] Okay.         

378
00:19:45,317 --> 00:19:46,885
   The legs are getting closer  
           and closer.          

379
00:19:55,894 --> 00:19:59,298
    [Jamie] Whoa, whoa, whoa.   
        Hang on a minute.       

380
00:20:00,332 --> 00:20:01,667
        Just be careful.        

381
00:20:04,603 --> 00:20:06,104
       [Mitch] Pull ahead?      

382
00:20:06,104 --> 00:20:07,172
              Okay.             

383
00:20:07,172 --> 00:20:08,273
     And we have to adjust,     
        make adjustments.       

384
00:20:09,508 --> 00:20:12,044
         [Jamie] I gotta        
     move my boom with him.     

385
00:20:12,044 --> 00:20:13,045
   So that trailer can get by.  

386
00:20:18,283 --> 00:20:20,852
      [Rob] Keep 'er going.     
        Come on, come on.       

387
00:20:27,593 --> 00:20:28,727
       [Jamie] Pull ahead.      

388
00:20:32,464 --> 00:20:34,299
      [Mitch] There we go.      

389
00:20:38,737 --> 00:20:40,072
           [Rob] Whoa!          

390
00:20:40,072 --> 00:20:41,540
             [Jamie]            
    That was a beautiful job.   

391
00:20:41,540 --> 00:20:43,242
          I like that.          

392
00:20:45,477 --> 00:20:48,780
    [Jamie] I think most guys   
         in our business        

393
00:20:48,780 --> 00:20:51,817
   really enjoy recovery work.  

394
00:20:51,817 --> 00:20:53,218
 It's trying to solve a problem,

395
00:20:53,218 --> 00:20:55,420
  trying to figure things out.  

396
00:20:55,420 --> 00:20:56,722
         That was nice.         

397
00:20:56,722 --> 00:20:58,991
     Nice when they go good     
   once in a while. [laughing]  

398
00:20:58,991 --> 00:21:01,059
         We're gonna get        
 this tractor-trailer split up. 

399
00:21:02,294 --> 00:21:04,296
     [Mitch] We'll back up,     
         get hooked up.         

400
00:21:07,599 --> 00:21:10,302
     [Narrator] Now attached    
      to a fresh tractor...     

401
00:21:12,671 --> 00:21:14,940
           [Narrator]           
   ...the trailer and its load  

402
00:21:14,940 --> 00:21:16,141
          can carry on.         

403
00:21:17,809 --> 00:21:20,779
   [Jamie] Having the outcome   
      happen successfully,      

404
00:21:20,779 --> 00:21:23,015
 that makes me feel pretty good.

405
00:21:23,982 --> 00:21:25,417
        We're good to go!       

406
00:21:36,161 --> 00:21:37,462
           [Narrator]           
     In the Fraser Canyon...    

407
00:21:41,133 --> 00:21:43,602
           [Narrator]           
    ...on Killers' Corner...    

408
00:21:43,602 --> 00:21:45,037
         [Ty] One more.         

409
00:21:45,937 --> 00:21:47,172
   [Narrator] ...two teams...   

410
00:21:47,172 --> 00:21:49,308
      Okay, let's do this.      

411
00:21:49,308 --> 00:21:51,777
     [Narrator] ...mobilize     

412
00:21:51,777 --> 00:21:53,845
      for their next play.      

413
00:21:55,047 --> 00:21:56,982
     [Sim] There's no damage    
         to the trailer.        

414
00:21:56,982 --> 00:22:00,018
  All the mail is still inside. 

415
00:22:03,221 --> 00:22:05,290
      [Narrator] Hours ago,     

416
00:22:05,290 --> 00:22:07,459
         the mail truck         

417
00:22:07,459 --> 00:22:09,394
        took a nosedive.        

418
00:22:12,931 --> 00:22:15,267
   It's time to start pulling   
   the front of the truck up.   

419
00:22:15,267 --> 00:22:18,837
     [Kirpal] You can throw     
  the chain through this hole,  

420
00:22:18,837 --> 00:22:21,640
         come down here,        
       and pull this way.       

421
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,209
      [Andy] Okay, and then     
  another one through the rim?  

422
00:22:24,209 --> 00:22:25,410
      [Kirpal] Yeah, sure.      

423
00:22:35,587 --> 00:22:37,522
            [Kirpal]            
   Yeah, now go straight back.  

424
00:22:40,892 --> 00:22:41,893
        Hopefully we can        
      get out of here soon.     

425
00:22:43,261 --> 00:22:44,429
      [Kirpal] That's good.     

426
00:22:44,429 --> 00:22:46,198
         It's definitely        
   a team effort on this one.   

427
00:22:47,933 --> 00:22:49,401
       [Kirpal] Okay, Sim.      

428
00:22:51,403 --> 00:22:53,472

00:24:02,941 --> 00:24:03,942
  The trailer is full of mail.

00:24:16,822 --> 00:24:18,323
    they could rupture open,    

455
00:24:18,323 --> 00:24:19,491
  and we don't want to do that. 

456
00:24:20,792 --> 00:24:23,328
            [Kirpal]            
    So we have to lift it up.

   We just stayed and fought,   

511
00:27:05,223 --> 00:27:07,025

      [Kurtis Brown] I took     
   five weeks off last summer,  

520
00:27:36,421 --> 00:27:38,857
     and didn't do anything.    

521
00:27:38,857 --> 00:27:40,091
   [Kurtis] Looking at it now,  

522
00:27:40,091 --> 00:27:42,293
   you can't tell that it was   
      washed out last year.

          Go, let's go!         

525
00:27:56,675 --> 00:28:00,345
  [Narrator] After the highway

531
00:28:19,998 --> 00:28:22,133
        It's hard to say

532
00:28:22,133 --> 00:28:25,070
           [Narrator]           
   ...to save what they could.  

533
00:28:25,070 --> 00:28:28,206
     [Kurtis] We need to get    
   some more rock here quick.

 to help get things cleaned up. 

535
00:28:30,709 --> 00:28:34,512

          [Kurtis] Yeah.        

546
00:29:18,189 --> 00:29:20,258
  [Kurtis] It's very impressive 

547
00:29:20,258 --> 00:29:21,726
    what's been accomplished    
          out there...          

548

      that are being built      

556
00:30:03,434 --> 00:30:04,435
         are technical,         

557
00:30:04,435 --> 00:30:06,838
  and require a lot more time.  

558
00:30:06,838 --> 00:30:10,975

     than it did a year ago.    

559
00:30:10,975 --> 00:30:13,444

    about another year or so    

560
00:30:13,444 --> 00:30:16,314
before all the permanent repairs

561
00:30:17,282 --> 00:30:18,950
           [Tom] Yeah,

569
00:30:51,883 --> 00:30:54,986
       is how devastating       
        it actually was.        

570
00:30:54,986 --> 00:30:57,088
  [Suki] So this was all water? 

571

573
00:31:02,493 --> 00:31:04,796

574
00:31:04,796 --> 00:31:06,664
    with the water coming up    
         to your doors?         

575
00:31:06,664 --> 00:31:08,533
    Like, I can't even fathom   
          that feeling.         

576
00:31:09,667 --> 00:31:13,404
     [Narrator] ...that was     
   forever changed last fall.   

577
00:31:13,404 --> 00:31:15,807
      It would be a scary,

584
00:31:37,528 --> 00:31:39,230

     [Cary] Nothing's better    

629
00:33:55,299 --> 00:33:56,300
  than being fed to the wolves, 

630

    and you learn on the fly.

       Working with my dad

    [Narrator] Last November,   

643
00:34:30,468 --> 00:34:36,040
      Al's D9 was repairing

644
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:38,342
       [Al] Go and run CAT

646
00:34:40,545 --> 00:34:42,847
    and then, uh, after that,   
      the rail was running.     

647
00:34:42,847 --> 00:34:45,583
       [Cary] Don't stop,

00:35:05,403 --> 00:35:06,504
        [Narrator] Now...       

653
00:35:06,504 --> 00:35:09,841

   [Narrator] ...Al discovers

656
00:35:14,579 --> 00:35:17,215
    [Al] The motor's knocked    
     right out of the frame.    

657
00:35:17,215 --> 00:35:19,117
      There's not a chance      
   that this engine will run.   

658
00:35:20,284 --> 00:35:21,719
   [Cary] So, what's the plan?  

659
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:23,588
   [Al] Get the brakes caged.   

660
00:35:23,588 --> 00:35:25,590
      [Al] We can't charge      
       the air system up.       

661
00:35:25,590 --> 00:35:27,225
     We're going to have to     
      back the brakes off.      

662
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:31,629
         [tool rattling]        

663
00:35:31,629 --> 00:35:33,731
           Another day          
      working in the ditch,     

664
00:35:33,731 --> 00:35:36,601

665
00:35:36,601 --> 00:35:38,436
  [Cary] Well, I got that one.  

666
00:35:38,436 --> 00:35:39,470
    Another day in paradise.    

667
00:35:39,470 --> 00:35:41,239
      So, what we're doing      

668
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:42,740
        is we're putting        
      these caging bolts on     

669
00:35:42,740 --> 00:35:43,741
      to release the brake.     

670
00:35:46,144 --> 00:35:47,245
      [Cary] And that's it.     

671
00:35:47,245 --> 00:35:48,246
        [Al] You got it?        

672
00:35:48,246 --> 00:35:49,080
          [Cary] Yeah.          

673
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:50,615

00:35:54,051 --> 00:35:55,887
      that Cary's been out      
      on a highway recovery

 to what's going on in the ditch

687

        in front of them.       

688
00:36:25,917 --> 00:36:27,251
  It's a very dangerous place.

696
00:36:57,515 --> 00:36:58,416
      [Al] Okay, watch out.     

697
00:36:59,884 --> 00:37:03,020
    [Narrator] Al's D9 dozer

704
00:37:25,042 --> 00:37:26,978
       [Cary] Where it was      
     would be too difficult     

705
00:37:26,978 --> 00:37:28,246
         to come in here

707
00:37:39,490 --> 00:37:40,992
 [Al] We can recover the truck, 

708

   the trailer in one piece...  

709

           drag it out          

710
00:37:46,397 --> 00:37:48,099

 The fish isn't in the boat yet,

718
00:38:12,723 --> 00:38:14,292
       but it's on its way

726
00:38:37,315 --> 00:38:39,150
              [Al]              
  I think we're ready to roll.

    They were trying to keep    
 all the animals alive out here,

752
00:40:30,661 --> 00:40:32,763
        and they ended up       
      falling off the road.     

753
00:40:35,399 --> 00:40:37,768

 [Narrator] ...the armed forces 

755
00:40:40,070 --> 00:40:41,639
        were brought in.        

756
00:40:41,639 --> 00:40:42,740
   [Walker] This is basically   
    preventing more flooding    

757
00:40:42,740 --> 00:40:44,809
          in the farms

      Incredible difference     
          a year makes.         

759
00:40:53,818 --> 00:40:56,754
    The impact of that flood

     and it's surreal to me.    

762
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:06,197
 The sense of being normal again
     is just really awesome.    

763
00:41:08,098 --> 00:41:09,433
    It's so different today.
