Please Doug and all the members of Northwesterntowing and Purdy'stowing company and everyone else who has helped please stay safe. Big respect for you all. Prayers 🙏
As a load operations supervisor for UPS. I applaud you for letting the water drain out to save the cargo. If it is possible, depending on the contents. I have been a recovery diver for insurance companies for the past few years and hope that I never get called to a situation like this. Glad everyone is safe ❤
I know this video is 4 months old but I would just like to tell you that you are an amazing young man!! You are very good at what you do and have a genuine heart. May God bless you abundantly!
So glad you were there to give your assistance. You did an amazing job hooking them up and protecting the river from any spillage that might have happened.
I've never seen this size of recovery before!! Talk about higher levels of professionalism, organization and a whole lot of brain power to do a recovery like this! Well done Doug! Well Done!😎😎👍👍🤓🧠🚛🚚
Check out Ron Pratt he's a tow operation in Missouri with alot of semi recoveries mainly rollovers or drivers blindly following GPS for cars because they're too cheap to get the truckers GPS
Everyone was lucky to escape major injuries. As a former paramedic who worked before the Slow Down/Move Over laws I can tell you I HATED responding to calls on the interstate. Nothing like having your backside hanging out of a car while traffic zooms by at 80+ MPH inches away. I got a bone deep bruise once when I was “tapped” by a side view mirror. I was lucky it wasn’t worse, but still hurt like a &!*€$. We recently lost a Fire Chief on the Highway, right after the law went into effect. People need to pay more attention and drive to arrive alive.
@davidwoermansr people have no concept they think just because the average person doesn't have an excuse to do it no one should but there's reasons why ppl have to do it and we should respect human life enough to pay fucking attention but ppl just don't and its sad...
Extremely proud of you Doug , you have done so much for so many from recovery of vehicles when you were with Elite , then diving the waters in the search for the missing which you still do than God , and heavy recovery. You are an outstanding human being working with other outstanding people. God Bless , keep safe Brother.
Shout out to all who do towing recovery !!! Your work is amazing, very few people realize what an art it is just to get the vehicles that leave a roadway to a flat surface to be able to remove them from the area.
I used to be a truck driver myself anytime. I've seen anybody on the side of the road. I always moved over. And I always slow down. Thank God everybody is okay, God bless you, Doug. And my heart goes out to the Family involved with this accident.
Whoa! Glad this recovery is going safely without a hitch - thanks to a hitch! Glad nobody ended up hurt with such a major accident. Bless you and everyone who was with you to work on this vehicle rig and tow, Doug.
THANK GOD you guys were able to get the fuel out of the trucks!!! It could have caused havoc to the Columbia river again from a former Oregon native THANK YOU!
Such a professional way you narrate these videos! 👏 And stressing the fact that people NEED to pay attention and slow down and move over! It SAVES LIVES❣️ People are too much in a hurry these days, we're all in a hurry, but those few seconds, and it only takes seconds, could save people's lives!! What you do is amazing Doug! I respect your devotion❣️🙏
Wow coming in big indeed , no cars but massive trucks and way insane and very glad your there to assist and guide them. Very lucky it was not worse and every now and again you get amazing recoveries to do and we get to see them . Very impressed Doug as knowing and doing what way to attack the recoveries is very important. Thank you Doug telling us as it is and better than live tv for sure. I do love a miracle where no one was killed.
The first could be called an accident if the broke down car didn't have lights the tanker was no accident he saw the lights flashing and instead of slowing down and moving over he held his speed and lane starting at the lights expecting them to get out of his way that was a wreck at the least and quite possibly a crime
Awesome rigging and recovery job , Doug. I have followed your career for years and admire your desire to learn and serve others. Please continue to be careful and thank you for sharing your time and talent with us.
Holy Moly, you continue to Be Dynamic in everything; we appreciate ❤you, skill and purpose for helping families no matter how dangerous the rescue recoveries can be.
Doug, you’re a good man with an amazing talent. I appreciate the work you do both in extricating vehicles from the waterways, and bringing home lost loved ones!! ❤
Great to see you as an integral part of this recovery Doug AND for the explanation as to how it happened. We were scratching our heads trying to figure it out.
I am very grateful that someone like you is come back to help others . Doug I've missed you is watching you. God has put you here for others and I am a true believer of that.
Thank you for sharing this very important message, Doug. People tend to forget the rules of the road once they get their drivers licenses, unfortunately. Thankfully no one was injured this time. Only by the grace of the good Lord above. Because as a former Paramedic, I got too many calls to accident scenes just like the ones you just described. Please, PAY ATTENTEN, SLOW DOWN AND PULL OVER, let's keep everyone safe out there!! Best Regards from a Retired Paramedic, and an S&R Dog and Handler Team Trainer and Horse Trainer in Ontario,Canada, Jenn 💖 🇨🇦
wow they could not have asked for a better diver to do this recover than you Doug as an ex-tow truck driver and now a diver you are most appt to know how to rig these semi trucks and trailers to come up the best no putting down any other divers. Praise God no one was killed in this. God bless yall for what yall are doing to get this cleaned up. Please yall slow down and move over when you see a someone on the side of the road like you are to do by law it could save lives.
Gosh what a crazy recovery! Hard to watch not knowing if those lines will break and whip out to harm someone too close. High intensity here for sure!!!❤ Thank you Doug!!
Extremely lucky no one was badly hurt or killed. Doug I think what you do is amazing, finding missing loved ones....being that voice for the voiceless....giving answers and closure to families. Don't stop doing the great things that you do ❤❤ Mandie from over in the UK
Doug, You are truly amazing for using your passion to clean up water ways and for using your expertise and knowledge to help find missing persons and bring answers to their loved ones.❤ You also train others to do what you do and you go in no matter what the risks, or dangers.. You do it all with only donations, or from merch sales. If only people would realize the expanses that it costs to do everything that you do and you don't ask for money from the families of missing persons,maybe more people would donate to help you on your missions. Prayers for safety for you and everyone helping with recoveries.❤🙏
Good to see you Doug 😊. All of the individuals in the accident I have God watching over them because to see this kind of accident I’m surprise there were no injuries or deaths especially with the double tanker. Great job for everyone who helped with the recovery. God Bless everyone. ❤🙏
I am a fellow Tow operator and owner. I can’t agree with you more. People need to stop and slow down. What a great job. That sea wall must have been a challenge on its on. Lots of extra resistance.
As a 20yrs of driving thanks for your service I see all the time some of the drivers don't get over because some of them don't give a dam just won't to get were there going God bless 🙏
As soon as I heard about this I had thought of you. I'm glad you were able to go assist them. ❤ We drive from Lowell to Eugene on 58, several times a week. So many people drive way too fast and recklessly, including many of the truckers. Makes me feel like I'm in Los Angeles.. And it's shocking how many people don't slow down and move over when on the freeway, when someone is stopped in the shoulder having an emergency. Or they don't pull over to the shoulder when sirens are heading towards us from behind.. Its like they think the laws don't apply to them. Thank you Doug for all you do and all of your hard work. Stay safe always. 💓
What a amazing recovery great job FELLAS 🙏🏻 speaking of ACCIDENTS I was in a badd motorcycle accident yesterday broken ankle and leg sportster totaled guy who hit me at 45 mph took off 5 people in intersection not one helped me while I was laying in the road with a 1000 pounds of harley on top of me can't believe how cruel this WORLD has become!!!!!
Wow. Just Wow. To be able to recover on this scale and protect the environment. I'm glad you told us the passenger vehicle had no o e in it. They would have been long gone. God bless you for all your experience so you could do this. The right man for the job.. Slow Down. Move Over. New merch?
wow that would have been scary to be at that scene.....Good to see you back Doug....I gather you are back in the crash recovery/towing business...stay safe and God bless.
Doug I am glad that you are still doing what God planned for you and the rest of the crew's DOH, chaos divers,nick rinn, and all the crew's from all over the USA, shout out to you all 🙏🍯🦡🤘💯🌹, Rick 🙏
Lived in Washington when we were kids been up & down both sides of the Columbia River Gorge it's Beautiful! Have watched barges come thru the Dalles but my favorite is Multnomah Falls! Somebody was watching over y'all is all I got 2 say glad everyone is ok🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏
My daughter use to live in Hood River and it always made me worried when she would drive to Portland along that highway. She has since moved to Portland and teaches 3rd grade. ❤
Thank you so much for what you do. As an OR native we have seen these too many times. You are right that it is a God thing that nobody was badly injured or as usually happens killed.
What’s up Doug, HeavyD ask his viewers to check out your videos so here (I’m is) as my eldest son (2) use to say when little. He’s now 42 + twin brothers. I’m a 71 yr old retired minister bed ridden man. I’ve watched you before on Adventures With Purpose really cool thing to do man, bringing closure to families. Just subscribed brother so LETS GO….!!!…
Thank you for being you. Special people like you are always needed.
Good to see you continuing your recovery and online endevors.
Please Doug and all the members of Northwesterntowing and Purdy'stowing company and everyone else who has helped please stay safe. Big respect for you all. Prayers 🙏
Truly a miracle that no one lost their life or got severely injured. Thank you for all you do Doug. Stay safe.
