[gord]: once we get it up to the road bed, we're committed. We've gotta keep going. Lean on 'er some more. Pull on it. Okay, that's it. No more, no more. -yep. -no more. [narrator]: to make room for the wreck... How about if I pull ahead, and you bring the back end up a little bit? [al]: yup. [narrator]: ...gord needs to reposition... You got it? I think so. [narrator]: ...and al's truck must take the full weight of the tractor. [al]: there's a potential the cable could break. Snap, bang, [crunching]. [reverse alerts beeping] [al]: it would be a bad scenario. We're good. [narrator]: with gord's wrecker out of the way... We'll go with a low line, and then the tickler. Yep. [narrator]: ...al and gord work fast... We're on. [narrator]: ...to reset the rigging... Take a good bite. Yep. [crunching] [narrator]: ...and add a high line to force the cab the final steps onto the road. If we're pulling off the top of the boom, it's gonna give us a lifting advantage. Let's go. [narrator]: al and gord start to pull... ...but as the tractor carves through the snow, winch lines begin to slice through the icy bank. [al]: anything chafing the steel wire rope, there's a potential for cutting strands, so you don't wanna take a razor blade to a violin string. Hold it, gord! . Messi magic Oh Canada!!

But super big class sizes, increasing responsibilities, and poor support make it harder for teachers to help us. That's because Alberta spends the least amount of money per student. In all of Canada. Schools need more funding so that teachers can guide us in achieving our dreams. It's time for solutions. Stop the excuses. Ctv Morning Live. Spotlight on Golden Welcome back to Golden, b.c..

With draws Tuesdays andFridays, you can dream to the max. [narrator]: in a remote corner of british columbia... Whoo, doggy! [narrator]: ...al and gord are cutting it close... ...to rescue a logging truck. [al]: there's a lot of friction. We don't wanna have a break-free moment, and that thing tumbles down the hill. Cable's getting real tight. [gord]: this is the hardest part of the pull, right here at the top. It's pretty dicey. Okay, easy, easy! Okay, hold it! [narrator]: finally... That should do it. [narrator]: ...the tractor is back on high ground. [al]: we're on the road, but we're a little ways from the finish line yet. I'll be right back. [narrator]: gord tows the battered unit up the road... ...while beside the waters below, al weighs their next challenge... The trailer. [al]: that trailer, when it's in transport mode down the road, it's only just sitting on the back of that truck in the log bunks. [narrator]: the log trailer is a two-part problem. When empty, the two pieces of the trailer are stacked for transport, then pulled apart for a load of logs. These two pieces are not joined together anymore... ...so we'll just recover it piece by piece. Right around here? Right around the extension there, yeah. [narrator]: local operator ken archer rigs to the front end of the trailer. Yeah. All right, fellas. [narrator]: now, using his own wrecker... Okay, here we go. [narrator]: ...al will try to fish the first piece out of the lake, and up the slope. The front unit... ...is wrestled over onto its wheels... [al]: come on, baby! [narrator]: ...but the back end... ...refuses to let go. It's not breaking loose. Are you kidding me? We didn't plan on it coming up in one piece. Oh, we're not done yet. Not even close. [narrator]: east of hope, on the coq... This is a very tricky job. It's actually buckled the carrier, right here. [narrator]: ...jamie and colin have reunited to rescue a car carrier. [jamie]: I'm worried about the structural integrity of the trailer. It's very real that it can bend in half or tear apart. Holy, man. [narrator]: earlier today, the loaded car carrier lost the road and slammed into the ditch, buckling its frame. Keeping a lane open... [colin]: stay tight. 'cause we're gonna put both trucks together. [rick]: yeah, okay. [narrator]: ...colin lines up the wreckers for the first stage of the recovery... Yeah... [narrator]: ...and jamie... So we're gonna try to do this. [narrator]: ...walks the driver through the plan. [jamie]: we'll put two on the back end, and we'll pull it up best we can. Because it's gone off on a long run, we've got to bring it back out on a long run. Okay, let's pull some cable out. [narrator]: months since his last recovery... You know, you gotta keep the skills sharp, right? [laughs] [narrator]: ...colin leads the charge. [colin]: so we'll snatch this one. [narrator]: following his instructions... I love this job! [narrator]: ...is new hire french canadian steve yvorchuck. [colin]: what about that step post right in there? Yeah. [steve]: every recovery is totally different here in B.C.

than quebec. Totally, man. [narrator]: hooking up to the trailer, the team runs two lines on one side... Okay, there's that. [narrator]: ...and a single on the other. [jamie]: now, tighten it up. [narrator]: then... Did you wanna direct them guys pulling? [narrator]: ...jamie puts colin in charge. [jamie]: I have less experienced guys, so it's just gonna make this go so much better with colin there. [colin]: I don't even work for him anymore, right? I'm there on my day off, so... [laughs] [narrator]: with steve operating the mack, and rick on hr-126... -you ready? -yep. Let's get pullin'. [narrator]: ...winches roll, and the carrier starts to move. [jamie]: it's a very delicate dance for all these guys to work together. [colin]: keep going, doing what you're doin'. [jamie]: you have to be careful of what forces you're applying to the trailer. Okay, whoa. [jamie]: you've got big power at your fingertips. Just a little bit of pressure, and you can bend a trailer in half. [narrator]: the loaded carrier... There you go, two hands. [narrator]: ...slowly creeps out of the ditch... Use your blue line more. [narrator]: ...but moments later... [narrator]: ...the wreck begins to bog down... It's low to the ground, and this ditch does have a pretty good angle to it, so it's digging into the mud. [narrator]: ...and with every inch towards the road... Okay, whoa, whoa, watch your truck. [narrator]: ...tension builds. Now the tilting load... I'm pulling the truck sideways. [narrator]: ...threatens to topple. Whoop, oop, oop, oop... Stop, stop! [narrator]: jamie pauses to reassess... [jamie]: this thing's a high-end load of expensive cars, and I've got to do my best to look after them. Now, I can do a highline maybe, eh? [narrator]: ...and comes up with a new plan. Adding a third truck to the recovery, jamie will run a safety line from his newest wrecker to the top deck, plus a low line to the carrier's front end, to carefully guide it onto the road. The extra rigging is hooked up... And then just put that in the loop, you know? [narrator]: ...but jamie... The main frame is buckled, right in here. [narrator]: ...is still concerned. I'm using that line to pull with somewhat... I'm scared, this thing's so bent. ...but I don't want to really yank on this that high up. There's a lot of leverage right there. We gotta be very careful. [narrator]: now, with three wreckers in play... Okay, you good to go? [narrator]: ...the trio of heavies starts to pull. -this is lifting it! -okay. -so you lift, you pull. -okay-- -you lift, you pull. -all right, thanks. [jamie]: colin's a great asset. He instinctively knows where to pull and when. [narrator]: ...but soon... Yeah. [narrator]: ...coach colin... ...is back in the game. Hang on a sec, rick. [colin]: it's really nice to be back on the controls, but if something messes up, I'm the one that's gonna feel that. [narrator]: rising up to the road... [jamie]: this is the toughest part of the pull, right when you get it over the bank. [metal creaking] [narrator]: ...the carrier's top-heavy frame starts to twist. We have a very lightweight skeleton trailer here, and there's quite an angle that it's coming out of the ditch on. If anything could go wrong, it's gonna happen right now. Wait a minute. Go, go, go. Whoa, stop it, stop it, stop it. -whoop. -hold on. Hold it! Hold on, hold on! [metal creaking] She'll never bend the knee. The greens are coming for you, Rhaenyra, and for your children.
