This time on Highway Thru Hell...
...off-road...
Oh!
That was my leverage.
...and up a tree...
Oh, buddy!
...Reliable gets tricky.
Oh, look at this guy.
...on a blind curve...
Come on, come on, come on!
...Jamie heads upstream.
Ah!
Merry Christmas!
And holiday cheer...
I got more of a beard like him.
...for the biggest toy run ever.
Feel like I need some hair spray.
In Hope, B.C.,
Christmas is in the air.
Drivers on Highway 1...
...push to get home for the holidays...
..but stuck on a blind corner...
...a disabled utility truck.
Called to the scene...
It's a little bit of a sketchy job.
...Jamie Davis...
See, even here, there's not much shoulder, right.
...is on a mission to retrieve it...
Okay, let's go.
We gotta be quicker, too.
...with swamper Martin Stefek.
Yeah.
A service truck has lost its back wheels.
It's on an off-ramp and on a bad corner.
With drivers racing by...
...Jamie...
I want a road flare out.
...takes control of the traic.
For me, this job is all about safety.
We're on a bad corner,
we don't have good line of sight here...
No, more, more.
...I'm going to oversee everything.
There. That'll keep it.
Okay, let's go.
But on the narrow six-foot shoulder...
It's dangerous, you know?
...in a 100-kilometre-per-hour zone,
drivers on the holiday rush...
They don't seem to slow down for us,
and they should move over.
...pose a close threat.
It's our lives, too, you know, that matter.
Very easily this truck could be hit by another truck,
coming around the corner.
Oh, my lord.
Doesn't see it. Bang.
On Highway 1 through Hope...
So just take that one up as far as you can go.
...just five minutes from his yard...
We're gonna block the whole off-ramp off.
...Jamie and his team
handle their own traffic control...
...to remove a utility truck
from a bad spot.
I want you to stay about right in here.
Yeah.
...but with no rear axle...
they can't lift it from the front.
In order to pick this thing up by the back end,
the tow truck's actually gotta be facing
the wrong way in traffic.
Signaling to drivers
ahead of the corner,
Jamie will block off the exit,
enabling his wrecker to drive the wrong way
down the off-ramp to the wreck.
Okay, you guys, you can come up now.
With the off-ramp closed...
Oh, here we go.
...longhaul expert Mark Richards
drives against the flow in a 35-tonne wrecker.
I could not hook up to the front of this vehicle,
because it's his rear that's gone.
I'm left with no choice.
I have to go the wrong way on the highway.
Let's do it.
Also pitching in tonight,
Jamie's latest recruit,
Maxime Chamberlain Normand.
Oh! Look at this guy.
Wow!
Whoa!
Safely in position...
Gotta make sure she lines up.
...they move quickly...
Stop.
Bring it back a little. Whoa!
...to hook up...
...and get off the highway.
- Okay! Whoa, whoa... - Okay, stop.
Okay, now go up a bit.
Yeah, there you go. There you go.
I'm good on my side.
Me too.
Yeah, it's gonna be a tricky, tricky haul.
With the wreck loaded up...
Put the straps on.
Yep.
...ratchet straps lock it down.
You're good on your side.
We are good to go.
Utility truck in tow,
Jamie will escort Mark's wrecker
against the flow of traffic...
to the nearest turnaround.
We've got a little bit of a scary thing here
to back up in traffic.
Oncoming drivers...
Okay, so you're gonna follow me,
and back up and stay over that side...
...continue to race by
at over 100 kilometres an hour.
Keep my lights off until I get to the other side?
Yeah, till you go to make the right turn.
Okay.
It's a fairly tricky maneuver
to do what we're doing here.
This isn't something we do every day.
Well, I've never done it this way before.
You ready to go there, Mark?
Yup.
It's a very scary feeling
going the opposite way on traffic.
400 kilometres northeast...
...near Revelstoke, B.C...
Visibility is not great.
...a Ben's Towing 50-tonne
hurtles along Highway 1,
with lead operator Mike Toporchak.
This section of highway
is known to be a little bit foggy at times.
That doesn't help matters.
It's been a busy night up here tonight.
Highway crews are trying to keep up,
but there's only so much you can do on a day like this.
Every available hand is out,
uh, making sure the highway stays open.
Mike is the Operations Manager
for the day-to-day functions in Revelstoke.
Very focused, highly skilled.
Definitely the right guy.
Just ahead...
...a refrigeration trailer
knocked clean off its hitch.
Travelling eastbound,
the loaded semi lost traction,
crossing lanes,
decoupling as it crashed.
It's well in the ditch.
Arriving at the site...
So...
...Mike...
...let's see here.
...gets a peek
at the trailer's frozen goods.
French fries!
This thing's probably a write-off...
...but we also need to get that cargo salvaged
as quickly as possible,
especially with a perishable load like this.
While he waits for an unload crew...
...the Highways foreman
is determined to clear the tractor.
Their job is to make sure
that the road is flowing
as freely and smoothly as possible...
...and, uh, we're an obstruction on that road right now.
Okay, ready to start pulling here.
Mike winches
with a line to the tractor's frame...
...but the rear axles...
Not really great, eh?
...are deep in the ditch.
As I'm pulling,
I'm watching how the wreck's reacting.
I need to put down and re-rig somewhere better
to get a better angle.
It's gonna be a little bit of a head scratcher.
It's, uh, it's not pretty.
On Highway 1, near Revelstoke,
Mike from Ben's Towing
adds a second line...
Yeah, that'll work.
...to dislodge a mangled wreck.
I'm going to try and bring the tractor up
without bending or breaking the frame.
Right now the problem's
just gonna be getting it to the road, yeah,
in one piece.
Swapping a line to the far side...
...makes for a more gentle lift...
It's going along pretty good
for a buggered up unit...
...and Mike's quick thinking...
...gets the damaged unit
back on the road...
Perfect.
They don't usually get folded up quite this bad.
...but his tractor troubles
are just getting started.
There's no really good way
to tow a twisted truck like this.
There's not really much choice.
How am I gonna pick this up?
There's a lot of loose pieces,
a lot of loose trim, loose plastic.
There you go.
In this case,
the frame is also bent and cracked.
My biggest concern right now
is that if we go down the road,
that crack will get worse,
and we'll end up with us dropping the wreck
on the highway.
Adding to the pressure...
Highways' authorities
urgently want the blocked lane cleared.
Pain in the ass, aren't ya?
This needs to be off the road...
...so we're gonna truss it up the best way we can
to take it away.
Right there.
With a 10-kilometre drive
back to home base...
Perfect.
Well, we're gonna see if that's gonna hold it.
...Mike does what he can
with the chains he's got.
Are you taking it to your yard,
or you just going to dump in the pullout?
No, it'll come to the yard.
If I can pick it up here, and it rolls,
it's gonna keep going.
I'm not stopping.
Well, let's see if that's enough.
Now his improvised rigging
will be put to the test.
Oh, why is that?
Any guy in this business likes his twisted metal,
likes a puzzle,
and this one is no different.
Watch your toes.
Nope.
I think that was the frame letting go.
Four and a half hours southwest...
...on Highway 1 through Hope...
...Jamie and his team...
It does play on your nerves.
...are extracting a disabled utility truck.
I can't do a three-point turn on the highway,
so I have to come up the highway the wrong way
to get him off the road.
Now, this is where it gets kind of dangerous.
With Jamie in the guide truck...
Mark's wrecker will tow the wreck
half a kilometre
against traffic,
crossing at a nearby turnaround.
Yup, we're good.
People ain't used to seeing a truck,
or any other vehicle coming towards them
when they're going one way,
and I'm coming at 'em this way.
Like, "Honey, what's this?
How come the truck is going this way on the road?
He's going the wrong way."
That scares people.
I want to make sure we don't have any problems here.
Jamie leads the way...
in reverse.
This is the scariest part right here.
This is the kinda job
that puts the hair up on the back of your neck.
You have to have all these moving parts there,
everything has to work just perfectly.
Another semi coming.
It's the person who's not paying attention
that scares me the most.
Here's a guy here right now.
Waiting for a break in traffic...
Driving a million miles an hour,
doesn't slow down.
...as they approach the turnaround...
There's a car coming right now.
...Mark picks his window...
Soon as that vehicle goes, we go.
...and crosses over.
Okay, go, go.
Come on, baby.
...but the 40-foot combined unit...
Oh...
...overshoots the turnaround...
Ah!
...and risks being hit
if it has to reverse.
He should have done a wider turn.
Hard right, hard right.
Come on, come on, come on!
You got 'er.
At last,
Mark pulls back into the flow of traffic.
Now I'm a normal truck, driving down the highway.
We got the job done, perfect!
See how touchy that was?
The moment that he's across
and the right way in traffic,
I'm happy.
My stress level drops right then and there.
Amazing, right?
Risky business, but it's done.
Merry Christmas!
Near Revelstoke,
on Highway 1...
I think that was the frame letting go.
...Mike is struggling to hook on...
to a tractor in rough shape.
This is definitely one of the more twisted ones
I've seen in a while.
They don't usually bend the frame that way.
I'm worried about dropping on the way there.
Uh, actually, you know what,
we're gonna put it down and rework this.
I'm not at all happy with that.
Adjusting his rigging...
Awesome.
Gonna truss this up enough that it might...
might maybe hold.
...Mike reinforces the frame
with a chain binder...
Either it's gonna hold together,
or it's gonna cut itself apart for us, one of the two.
...for the 10-kilometre trek
to the yard.
We wanna bring it up in one piece,
rather than have it break on the way up.
Okay, watch yourselves.
The re-rig with the chain binder...
holds.
If we can shut down westbound,
and I'll slow crawl down the hill.
...and with a sign-off
from the highway foreman...
Yeah, he cleared that one up really quick.
...Mike...
We're gonna roll outta here.
...is ready to go.
You're just gonna wanna watch out when I go by
'cause I'm not sure how stable this thing is.
The name of the game is to get the road open, so...
push, pull or drag, she's leavin'.
The first mangled piece...
Well, it's still on there.
...is headed to the ya
Any recovery's a good recovery, right?
Every one's a challenge,
and every one's a little bit different.
This one's a little different.
But with the trailer still on its side...
...the job is far from over.
10 kilometres east of Revelstoke...
...on Highway 1...
...last night's sideways semi-trailer
awaits recovery.
Here to prep the scene,
a Ben's Towing one-tonne...
All right.
...and an operator
hailing from the other side of the globe...
Give it a go.
...Max Mitchell.
I'm 28,
and I'm originally from New Zealand.
I'm an engineer back home.
Came over here to holiday,
and there was this job available.
Three days later, I had a job.
The plan here is just basically get the bogies out of the way.
Earlier today,
an offload crew emptied the load of french fries.
Now...
I take it you're grabbing full axles?
Yeah.
...only the offload company's owner,
Bill Bremner, remains.
You've never done one of these?
Not one of these, no.
When you're starting out,
you don't really know the limits of the truck...
It's gonna be the strongest, I think,
because I don't think it's gonna slide too much.
...so you're just sort of being thrown into it.
Using doubled-up winch lines
from his one-tonne...
Max tries to peel the axles away from the trailer...
You might have to rotate the back end around.
...but something...
...is catching.
Just hold there for a second, bud.
Sure.
The front end of the bogey
is digging into the frame rail,
which is kind of stopping this corner from coming over.
Luckily for Max,
Bill still has his offload excavator on site.
You're free now.
That'll work better.
A gentle nudge...
and the bogies...
There you go.
...are free...
All right.
...from the eight-foot ditch.
Went pretty smoothly in all honesty.
With the bogies out,
Max faces the real challenge.
Like, okay, you've got that stuck down there...
...how are you gonna get that out?
250 kilometres southwest...
...in the mountains near Kelowna...
...a Reliable Towing 50-tonne
ventures far from homebase...
Road trip!
...with John Dods on a solo mission.
Little bit more snow up here
than I thought there would be, actually.
I love working by myself.
I am a team player,
but sometimes it's just better
to be in charge of the scene yourself.
I had about four people try to tell me
that I'm gonna need a rotator for this job,
and I don't feel I'm going to.
Not too sure
what the back road's gonna be like up here.
Just off the highway,
on a private back road...
...a 30-foot camper
hangs on a river's edge.
You just never know
what you're gonna show up to, man.
We're gonna have quite the adventure today.
John...
Quite the truck.
...is greeted by the owner...
It's gonna be home
until you build something up here?
Yeah.
...who plans to live in the camper
while building an off-grid home.
She almost went in the creek.
We were towing the 5th-wheel up the hill here,
and she just started spinning,
and then just slid right back.
This is his home, it's his livelihood.
Thank God, it only went where it did, right?
We gotta try to get this out in one piece.
But before John can get to work...
He barely fits.
...he must find a way
to get his eight-foot-wide wrecker
to the other side.
I gotta lift the trailer over outta my way...
...and then I can get around it.
John's only option...
I gotta try to get up into this tree here.
...is to get resourceful.
By your right foot, there's a nub.
Your knee's basically on it, yeah, right there.
I like doing these backroad recoveries
with limited room.
It gives you the ability
to show off your skill a little bit more.
Yeah, so, basically, I gotta get to here, so...
Oh, yeah, you got 'er.
Most of the time,
you would think of a tree being in your way
as an obstacle.
Don't fall...
Don't fall.
I pride myself
on making sure I can get something done
using my head and thinking outside the box.
20 feet up the tree...
Oh!
That was my leverage.
Oh, buddy!
...John rigs a snatchblock
to redirect his winch line.
There you are.
That's right, more risk, more reward.
I couldn't work in an office.
By rigging snatch blocks to trees,
John will direct his pull from the opposite side,
clearing the way for his wrecker.
Okay, pull a bit.
See what happens.
With remote control in hand...
This tree's a little thin.
...and a safety line to the owner's truck...
to stop the camper from sliding into the river...
Watch your head and stuff there.
Oh yeah.
...John tightens up.
We're gonna give 'er a shot
and see how she goes.
Once we got enough room, we'll get around it.
There she goes.
John's sequence of snatchblocks...
Oh, there's a shift.
There it is.
...does the trick.
Okay, I can get around that now.
If it looks good, it looks good, you know?
Okay, I'll back up.
John's 50-tonne squeezes through.
You can do anything with a straight stick
that you can with a rotator.
It just takes more use of your brain.
The hard part's still ahead of us here.
Oh, yeah, she hit the rock hard.
The home-on-wheels took a hit going in...
Oh yeah.
It's bent right up almost into the floor.
...and one wrong move
could turn the rescue into a write-off.
She don't gotta go far.
Nope.
It's down,
hung up on a large section of rip-rap rock.
If I just run a low line across,
it's just gonna rip the whole bottom
out of this trailer.
Rather than winching...
About eight inches!
...John reaches out with his underlift.
She's in there.
Moment of sketchiness.
Booming up gives him lift...
It's cracklin'.
...but as he pulls in...
As a tow company...
No.
...we are held responsible
for any damages that we do to people's units.
Don't like the sound of that.
It's cracklin'.
In the hills southeast of Kelowna...
This is gonna be the sketchy-sketchy part.
...an off-grid camper rescue...
Little dodgy.
...is banking...
Something's crunching.
...on John Dods' underlift.
What I am worried about is all the noise I'm hearing
up at the front tongue of the trailer.
To be someone's actual home,
especially with how fragile these things are,
it's very important we get this out in one piece.
Just keep an eye on this little crack,
- and this little crack. - Yeah.
What's happening is
we're getting a bite into this rock here.
I wanna add more of a lift...
Yeah, I'll go one on this side and one on that side.
...so we gotta get really creative.
Needs a little extra pull.
With his underlift still attached,
John will run lines to trees
on either side of his wrecker,
routing them to the camper's rear axles
to overcome the rocky bank.
All righty,
let's see how this goes for us.
Loading his lines...
...John puts his winches to work.
Yeah, she's coming.
How's that tree holding?
Geez...
Putting quite a bit of weight on that.
Yeah, I know.
Shifting.
Okay, moment of truth.
We don't do it
if it doesn't work for John Dods.
Good.
Yeah, we're good. We're out.
This one looks good.
You fared pretty good, buddy.
To everyone's relief...
For as big as those boulders are
that were underneath it?
...the damage is minimal.
Story ended really well.
I was actually getting really worried about it there
for a second.
Relaxing his grip,
John offers a courtesy tow...
Feels great.
That took some creativity
and a lot of teamwork from both our parts.
...to where the owner will live
while he builds his new home.
You're a good man, John.
No problem, my friend.
Good man.
He came in with the expectation
damage was gonna get done...
Saved my camper.
...and seeing that very little was done
has definitely got him feeling good.
Definitely not no rotator job, though.
I feel good to be able to help.
Four and a half hours northeast...
...a Ben's Towing 50-tonne
returns to the scene...
I'm on this channel, yup.
...with Mike...
That looks like it went pretty quick and easy.
...back to help finish what he started.
Sometimes, jobs are quick.
Some of these jobs like this can just turn into a marathon.
Headed eastbound when it lost traction,
the semi trailer caught an edge
and broke free from its tractor.
One for you, one for me.
I think you could probably justo off the bumper there,
that'll be enough.
Okay, do you want me high or low?
Low.
With greenhorn Max
hooking to the rear...
Mike hooks the front.
Perfect.
Working inside a single lane...
The shoulder on this particular stretch
is measured in feet,
and not very many of them.
...they must make use
of every inch.
- Am I still inside the line? - You're good.
I'm gonna get ahead of you here,
and then let you do your end.
Max has been a very good student
over his time here.
Yeah, I got a copy.
This is gonna be a bit of a challenge for him,
but I know he's up to it.
Alternating between Mike's 50-tonne...
...and Max's one-tonne...
Pulling.
...they bring the trailer up
as far as they can...
...in their cramped workspace...
K, freewheel your line and...
...but to get it fully out of the ditch...
So we're taking the lane, hey?
...they'll need to shut down a second lane.
We're taking this lane only,
so cut yourself hard over when you come ahead.
Okay.
All yours.
With the critical route
down to a single alternating lane...
That's good! Right there!
Okay, go ahead, start pulling.
I'll keep up.
...Mike kicks it into high gear.
Highway 1 is the main commercial corridor
between the B.C. Interior and the rest of Canada...
Get rolling!
...and obviously they want to have us cleared and gone
as soon as possible.
East of Revelstoke...
...a tricky trailer recovery
has the Trans-Canada Highway down to one lane.
- Keep going. - Yeah?
Mike...
and Max...
Bring 'er right to your under-reach.
...heave-ho...
Good. Just hold it. I'm gonna pull.
...to bring a toppled trailer
back on pavement.
The goal is to do this with minimal traffic disruptions.
That's more like it.
There, she's touching down, yup!
That'll work. She's sitting flat.
Okay, Max, you just set 'er down, get outta there.
Traffic can go through.
Max clears his wrecker...
...and the backlog on Highway 1
is released.
Now we load it up and get it outta here.
But towing the trailer away
is not an option...
We're gonna need a Landoll for the trailer
because it's on its side, and there's no wheels left.
...and the tilting trailer...
Don't break it!
...needs a little help.
Just see if the excavator
will give it a little bit of a push.
The excavator's a handy little piece of equipment.
It's got the blade, it can push things.
Ready?
Yup.
Just watch that front corner, Max.
Let me know when it's up over the first axle.
The extra muscle from Bill's excavator...
...pushes the trailer all the way...
...on deck...
Good enough.
Heads up, coming over.
Yup!
Still plenty to learn,
but, yeah, I think we're in a pretty...
pretty good place.
...and Team Reliable's
Ben's Towing...
Oh yeah.
I'd call that a load.
...takes the win.
Okay, I'm outta here.
The recovery we planned went well,
the highway's open, and everybody's happy.
Mike's built a very good team in Revelstoke.
They managed it all,
and I'm very proud of them.
500 kilometres southwest...
...in the Fraser Valley...
...Aggressive Towing...
So if you wanna use this table...
...is decking the halls.
Today we have
our 6th Annual Tow Truck Toy Run.
Every year, it gets a little bit bigger.
Collecting toys for kids in need,
Jason Davis's daughters,
Matia Davis
and Jasmine Lewis,
are aiming to outdo their previous toy runs.
This year, we actually had the military reach out to us,
and they wanted to participate,
so they are here today.
Sometimes,
you don't know how they're gonna top it,
but they come up with these ideas.
Makes us strive to wanna keep doing it,
and making it bigger and better every single year.
This year,
making a surprise first-time appearance...
You could be Mrs. Claus.
...incognito Jamie Davis...
You look funny, too.
...and his wife and business partner, Sherry.
In past years,
I've been out of town, or working, or somewhere.
I'm here this year,
gonna hang out there for the day
and enjoy it.
Howdy.
Hi.
See, Merv, I wanted to be like you.
You wanna compare?
The whole towing industry
puts in a big effort to throw this on,
and just to watch how many people turn up,
and all the items we get for donation is incredible.
I got more of a beard like him.
It feels great, and everybody is lovely.
Lots of new faces and lots of old dudes.
The thing is itchier than heck.
- You wanna try it, Jase? - No thanks.
- Try it on. - No.
Just a little bit. Come on.
- How are you? - Good, good.
I actually enjoy
just talking to the guys that you know there.
We don't really see each other as much as you would think,
because everybody's busy doing their thing.
This is my main man right here.
Every year, I say this, but every year, it's true...
Think it'll fit you?
Okay. Around the ears, yeah.
Yeah, you gotta bring it down a bit.
Yeah, that's it.
I'm so impressed
with the ability to bring the industry together.
There you go.
Convoy's almost here!
Finally, it's the main event...
...a Christmas convoy...
Merry Christmas!
Ha ha! Look at all the people!
...and a strangely familiar
guest of honour.
Welcome to the toy run!
At Aggressive Towing...
There we go!
...the 6th Annual Christmas Toy Drive
is underway...
...and with over 50 tow trucks from across B.C...
Wow, that's a lot of trucks.
...it's their biggest...
...and brightest to date.
All of us in the industry, I think,
take pride in that.
It shows their dedication to helping people.
Here's the Army look at that.
It's even caught the attention...
All the kids.
...of the big man himself.
I feel like I need some hairspray.
Jasmine and Tia,
I've known those girls since like that,
and...
Ho, ho, ho, ho!
I'm very proud to see them take the initiative
to organize this whole toy run.
How are you today?
You're so cute!
All they gotta do
is walk up with a good fresh chocolate chip cookie,
and they're in.
After six years of toy runs...
Being able to see the trailer filled up
is definitely a rewarding feeling.
...Santa will be leaving
with his heaviest haul yet.
It helps shed a better light
on the towing industry as a whole.
It's kinda inspirational
to see all these tow truck guys come together
and help Santa out.
What's your name?
It's all for a good cause.
For me to be able to go this year
was a good thing.
There you are.
Merry Christmas!
...But 600 kilometres north...
...near Quesnel, B.C...
...a tough-luck lumber hauler
has Rob Barber
and Kyle Langlois from Autow...
This is new.
...working the holidays.
It's hard
because someone's gotta work Christmas day, Christmas Eve.
Every tow truck operator's wish
at the end of the season
is probably a little vacation time...
...but we're the only ones that are out there
to keep the traffic flowing.
The super heavy Super B's
back on the road...
...with an improvised
two-wrecker tow-up.
...but despite being "on-the-clock"...
Does he look better like that, or like this?
...the team back at the Autow yard...
Like that.
...does their best to brighten holiday spirits.
Is there any more lights then?
Yeah, our days during the wintertime are short,
so it's nice when you see the lights light up the yard.
Good afternoon, Autow. Kim speaking.
It's hard, right?
With the festive season,
everybody wants time off to do stuff,
and you don't always get it.
But the following morning...
So what kind of tree are we going to look for
today, girls?
I want one that's soft!
...on a rare day off,
Kyle's on a special mission with his family.
You don't want a pokey one?
No! They hurt.
- They're all gonna be pokey. - Yeah.
Every Christmas-time now,
we go out, and we get a real tree.
Oh, wait, that one? That one, that one?
That one's nice.
Okay, let's go take a look.
We found the tree!
Think it'll fit?
Hopefully.
I actually look forward to these and enjoy them,
because they don't happen a lot.
More throttle.
There you go!
I want to!
Doesn't really matter what the tree looks like.
It's a family event.
It grows memories for everybody, coming out and doing this.
- Up and over. - It's hard.
Today's haul...
We got a tree!
...is the kind of job
every towman wants
heading into the holidays.
It's kinda nice to be able to stop...
Ready, girls?
Yeah.
...and make the best of it
for the short amount of time that I do get off.
Next time on Highway Thru Hell...
Supposed to be three or four semi trucks.
...lumber mayhem...
Damn.
...causes carnage...
- Whoa. - ...on the Coq.
Ambulance needs to get by.
Smells like chickens.
A farmer in the ditch...
It's like a smorgasbord of wreck.
...has Aggressive on the line.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
And Alexis shows Jamie...
This is the biggest thing
I've ever towed.
...how it's done.
That's quite the ways down.
