    I am so glad your family is okay! You know what I like about your channel over all the other heavy rescue channels. Which will remain nameless. No overdramatizing BS!!
    You get to the casualty you hook onto it and you pull it out, none of the oh I can't hook here because I'll tear this up or if I hook there it might do this or that. Just good old-fashioned get the job done!!!

I’m retired driving now, 30 + years, no accidents, no tickets, and for 25 years of my career with her riding shotgun as my angel I finally made it off the road. SO HAPPY for your family and the quick thinking of the Mrs. y’all are safe!! Thanks for the great content and the hard work y’all heavy wrecker guys do, God Bless the Murphy’s 🇺🇸🇺🇸

    What you said about cars being crushed between two trucks is so true. I don't understand why people don't stop and think about that. You know the ones I'm talking about. For example the ones who cut off a semi just to get in between him and another truck while coming up to a light. Do people just love putting their lives in the hands of unknown truckers behind them? I would rather be behind a semi than in front any day.

    We were on a two lane bridge, traffic was stopped in front of us and as I come to a stop I see a huge lifted f350 coming up behind us and he’s not stopping. I’m can’t go anywhere and I’m watching this big pickup hauling ass right at the back of my car and my 7yo daughter is in the third row seat, I don’t think I have ever felt so helpless, I just kept repeating we’re gonna get hit. The guy finally notices that we’re all stopped and he hammered the brakes stopping inches from the car, when we moved again I pulled over as soon as I could and made Emily move up a seat. I’m glad your family is ok 🙏🏻

    Heavy episode! Going thru instant fog ain't no joke. I had an episode years ago where I met a snow plow on a single carriage road. He just left a wall of snow dust behind him, and it stayed and stayed and stayed. I think it went on for 250 meters. Me being a taxi driver at the time, I knew the road like the back of my hand. It was between the airport and town, so I had driven there a gazillion times. So I got off the gas and coasted thru the left hander and up a small hill. In the middle of this hill, the snow fog wall suddenly ended and there was a Volvo station wagon (tank) sideways right in front of me. Everything went super slow mo for me, and afterwards I was amazed at how much information and desicison-making the mind could process in such a small time. The family in the Volvo was staring at me like literal deer-in-headlight, because I was about to T-bone them. I was so close I could see their facial expressions. They were all just gaping, mouths open, eyes wide open. But my mind somehow found time to consider all options. Panic brake would not work on the snow, would result in a colission for sure. Going for the ditch was not an option, because there was none. Just a plow edge that was as high as my shoulder sitting in the car. And I could not see if there was oncoming cars from the other side because of the Volvo blocking my line of sight to the hilltop. So I worked the brakes very softly, which bought me time to confirm that there was no traffic ahead, and I just went around him. (A big thank you to whoever designed the ESP on the Mercedes-Benz W211). It seems so everyday and uneventful when I type it out like this, but let me tell you, they were helpless, and I was ramming them. Somehow, it all worked out. My subconsciousness made all the right decisions, in fractions of a second. I was not acting consciously, I was in a hightened state. All my senses focused. My mind must have registered it as a life-and-death sistuation, because I didn't have time to do diddely squat. The mind just took over the body. Bottom line: The Volvo driver had probably panic braked in the fog and lost control. So he was in the situasion he was because he stopped driving the car. I never stopped driving my car.
