The man who taught me to drive used to run that road and knew those two drivers .he told me that story .It's something I have never forgotten that was in 1978 .Thanks John for every thing you taught me I'ii see you when I come home.
But he said at the beginning 1984.
This brought tears to my eyes, thats called trust love and friendship.
Im happy it touched you friend ...
I’m a retired old school OTR driver. Learning how to drive a rig and the ways of the road from my dad. I remember riding with him and the friendship drivers had. If there was one parked on the side of the road there was about 5 or 6 stopped to help that one driver. We’d even stop for 4 wheeler’s. Now days people could care less and in a big hurry. Lord How the times have changed.
Times have changed ... that is for sure ...
Well done drivers been driving for quite a few decades myself you never know until that day comes God was with you gentlemen as always the hand
Thanks 👍
This is why truckers are heros imo it takes balls to drive trucks, never driven any but grew up around trucking and truckers there my kind of people, Awesome story pretty amazing no brakes 😮
I'm an old trucker and would have tried to stop him at a lower speed. I would do that for any trucker and I don't care what safety would say.
Whew!! This made me tear up 🥺 I'm so glad they made it through. Trucking is no joke!
I always knew Captain Kirk liked big trucks. Cool video.
Being a truck driver myself I almost teared up.
yes even family never knows what we go through I have driven 40 years
Just think if every tire maker we see out on the road had a video telling the story of what happened some people wouldn’t want to drive
Chevy327sm, I couldn't help my self, I teared up too, when I was LMAO. There ain't no way in hell that should have happened. If he knew he had no breaks at the top the other truck can stop him with out scratching the paint. What fucking IDIOTS
Right On ...
@@donaldwoods9909 hmmm, i see the master truck driver is here. Im sure you could have done it right?😂
I remember seeing this as a kid fast foward been trucking 15 years
That's cool 😎 👍
Before ELDs and life on the road was an adventure and fun.
You are right about that !!!
When I started there was no satellites or ELD's. It was old school trucking. Pay phones, log books, maps and all. I miss those days.
You are right about that amigo ...
wow I watched this episode when it aired in the early 90's
I know ... friendship never dies ...
me too
7:34 The moment they touched... slam on the brakes! What a hollywood!
But the thing is ... we really did it ... it was not a stunt except for the Catchers Gear that I wore for the actual impact ...
The real story is a trucker retired early. That’s something I never really hear.
Once it’s in your blood, it’s hard to get out.
The knees and back usually retire you early.
90s television beats the crap on the air today
In those days they still had to do cool stuff ... cgi wasn't the standard in those days ...
@@superdivemaster Very true
Luck had nothing to do with it...that was GOD!!!
But if that is so why did your magical friend in the sky make the brakes fail in the first place?....so many mysteries and miracles!
That's what i call a Good Buddy.
Yep, that was the theme of the show ...
That's what it is all about ...
One time my dad headed back Stateside from Canada. And when he got to the POE the Canadian customs official spoke to him in French, at first!
Wayne and louie both did things to a pair of u underwear that day words can't describe
You got that right ...
Holy smokes; Im sure glad that worked!
he is dam lucky he run into his buddy that day and most of all going the same way. That was God all the way watching out for both of them. That right there will bring you to your knees thanking God. I've been a trucker for 35 years now, I can't help it. I've tried to quit but once it gets in your blood, most of my family are truckers. I grew up around it all my life. I'm OTR, my family members are loggers. that's just not for me
I think so ...
I remember watching this in australia in the 90s!! Melbourne australia..🤷
Time flies !!!
I bet someone would get fired for doing that today "That was a great, noble thing you did, but it was against company policy to purposely cause an accident" or something similar
I know. "accident". Sad to say, a lot of these companies these days would find some regulation to hold a "preventable accident" accountable to the driver in the rear.
The spirit of what I'm saying, back then companies were human, now it's a nasty machine
I think you are right ...
and the pete saved the day
Yep, I did the Pete ...
WOW this is a very touching story one hell of a story
to all the truckers out there just try to lend a helping hand now an again you may never know who might help are save you when things get sticky
Mountain driving can get tough ...
Nerves of steel!
Don't know how religious anybody here is but god was riding shotgun with these boys that day no doubt
I would have used the ol "drag the bottom of your shoes on the ground" method
Wow! just amazing!
i saw this as a little kid and could never find it. It haunts me everyday knowing that this could happen to my dad at any time...
Nobody gives a damn about your dad
I hope he stays safe ...
I remember that rescue 911 episode as well.
O MY GOD THATS AMAZING
Right On bruddah ....
In my recommendations in 2020.
Crazy
Right On !!!
he should have been against him way before he did but every one is different , they did good
Roger Farmer damn my family’s nothing but truckers and I’ve lost 3 members to bad breaks so yea I know exactly how you feel I’m still balling my eyes out
It was a good save ... just in time otherwise they both would have gone over ...
It would have pushed his trailer sideways on the corners, especially with the breaks locked and it would have made an even bigger disaster.
First of all you don't test your brakes while driving you always test your before starting to drive again to make sure that the brakes are working properly
Good ole Kelly's mountain
You got it !!!
There's so much stupidity and misinformation about air brakes and engine compression brakes on YT it's almost laughable. Some of the comments, like he should have down shifted, Like it's that easy, they've never even driven a truck or else they'd know. That's one of the reasons I hate YT, that and commercials.
Matthew Fogarty
Dear Mathew:
Thank you for your comment.
However, ignorance is your main attribute; I can assure you, that all circumstances portrayed, are true, and exactly how it happened.
Many people think they know it all, but their ignorance preceeds them.
Just like you. Thank you.
Matthew Fogarty
You are right amigo ... I did mis-understand, your point is well taken.
@ Have to agree there.
That is possible. Heavy to handle,but possible. And there was The Question for Shift down. Not good,because when You Shift down The RPM goes massive up. And when The RPM is to much,The Engine can blow Sky High. I Drive and Peterbilt 359 13 Speed Double Over.
I know ... many people stated that I should have just downshifted ... but that was no realistic under those conditions ...
The whole point of the down shift on the back side is to keep your rpms up so your compressor is able to keep the tanks full, if equipped, maximizes the efficiency of the jake brake.
i want that nice peterbilt
It was a nice rig ...
WHAT, the white truck had a magnetic bumper 🤔
Ha ha, yeah I’m still trying to figure how that worked too,
I thought he was going to pass him, then get in front, to allow runaway to tock up with truck with brakes, then slow them both down.
I believe that's how it really went down.
Because there's no in hell, there version would be happening. Unless! He had a BIG ASS magnetic bumper 🤔
What I can't believe, is that 99.9 % of the mear MORTELS, never catch on, that something isn't what it claim's.
It either had a MAGNETIC BUMPER, or some sort of bear trap contraption, that on impact, and I believe watching the stupid fake video, some sort of jaws of life , spring loaded, that somehow, grabbed the rear bar!
Now tell me, back in the era that it took place. They had such a contraption, on semis. It's all "BULLSHIT"!
And the mear MORTELS fall for "ANYTHING!" !
THATS WHATS WRONG WITH THE WORLD, THE SHHEEP JUST BELIEVE
@@alfredclark3688 you took the words right out of my mouth. This was either a directors error, or they had their reasons for making it appear this is how it happened but your right. this is not how things would have went down, only possible way according to laws of physics would be to overtake and get in front.
Spiking too much on the company trailer from before earlier in the trip to save the trucks shoes I bet. Common practice back then.
I think you are right ...
Oh yeah, I remember when the owner operators would just use the trolley brakes so to save on their own cab brakes ! God Bless our truckers !
I'm actually quite interested now. Is this a recreation of something that actually happened, driven by stunt drivers?
Yes ... I was the Actor/Stunt Driver in the flat-bed ...
@@superdivemaster That's awesome man!
@@mr.capythebara9384 Thank you Brother ...
Anyone else pick up on the camera mounted on the front of the pete through the convex mirror @ 2:43? May have to pause it to catch it. love catching production mistakes!
David Landesman they put it there just for you and were give out a prize but you never called in
You are the only one ... good eyes ...
And if he lost his air the spring brakes should have applied
Sometimes things don't always work right ... especially in that super cold weather ...
enough weight and angle and it'll just skid.
gracias al colega esta vivo todos somos humanos
I tried to simulate a catastrophic brake failure in my truck once. I picked a really steep hill and I even built up a bunch of speed before I entered the down-hill side. Then I shut the engine off and left the truck in gear. I had to re-start the engine half way down the hill because I just ground to a halt.
WOW!!! What a brain Stevie.
es lo que se hace en la escuela vieja de los traileros
Да класс!)))
Spacebo ...
@@superdivemaster пожалуйста.)))
What year are the semis
That's a good question ??? I don't know ... even though I drove that one ... sorry ...
That was pretty intense but *I considered maybe downshifting & deceleration .. (Then killing the engine) couldn't imagine attempting that stop *saying a prayer for all the pilots facing a faulty rudder system as we speak* the hydraulic needs to be replaced with a spring (it's rediculous how the hydraulic locks the rudder into big turn causing the 747s to crash)
Right On ...
@@superdivemaster 🇺🇸
If you don’t grab that gear in time it’s impossible to get it back….heavy truck transmissions aren’t synchronized like a pick up truck
@@maidenrulz73 Exactly !!! Thank You !!!
Jake break is it possible it’ll slow down some.
2018?
1994 or 95.
So, lets here the story about why he had brake issues in the first place, I am guessing poor maintenance and lack of proper pre trip inspection.
I didn't here any jakes engine breaks, you don't run Canada without jakes!
Owner says you two owe me a hood and 8 tires go back to work
Michael Hendrix Right On !!!
Makes you wonder if today’s truck drivers will help you if something like that happened
I don't think they are as brotherly these days as like before ...
amazing story
@roadwolf2 not if he only had single boosters
👍👍👍🙂
Spacebo !!!
@roadwolf2 but being the 80's 90% did
So what caused the failure?
Faulty Brake-Line !!!
@@superdivemaster Couldn't be. Springs would apply with a loss of air. Even a relay failure wouldn't do it.
I remember the script saying "Brake Failure" ... that's all I know ...
false if a truck loses air the brake pot will be spring applied when are is lost and halts the truck to a stop
this most have been very danger to remake alot of things could have gone wrong
You are right ... we actually had an incident while shooting, very similar to what happened ... it was only a short distance though ... not the entire length of the mountain ...
, you dont pump air breaks, and you could of geared down, so what went wrong ? if you lose air your breaks come on.
akaeldin or just stay in gear which is what I have done
The hill was too steep ...
*brakes*
what gets me is why he doesnt try and slow down on the engine brakes and gears down more
Highly possible by the time he realized how much trouble he was in it all way too late. One thing I don't understand, and it may be because of the age of the rigs but aren't air brakes supposed to lock up if the air pressure fails?
You are right ...
Up the hill and dont reduce speed??
I dont belive this.
This is just a storie for TV.
It was a re-creation of something that really happened ... Besides ... it really happened to us when we were filming the episode ...
@@superdivemaster a bad recreation. And i Said that, it,s for TV.
@@manelcosta4983 Right On ...
@@manelcosta4983 But I do want you to know that we really did it ... it was not a slow speed stunt ... except for the catcher's gear that I wore in the actual rear-ending ...
and this is what happens when you don't do your dam pre trip properly
You got that right ...
This is what I don't get.. ya sure they are on a big hill.. but if you let go of the gas it'll eventually really slow down...This isn't the movies where if you lose your breaks you keep going the same speed, lol.. wtf!
Never driven a truck have you Dweebix. It's not gas, its diesel, and diesel engines have little to no compression when you let off the throttle to slow you down. Unlike the gas engine in your car or pickup, which will slow you down, but only if it is not pulling a heavy trailer, in that case all bets are off. That is why compression brakes (Jake Brake) were invented, but even with that they will continue to gain speed without some kind of braking power. Yes road wolf, if all he did was loose air, the trailer would have dynamited first, and the truck shortly after, but most highway trucks of that period only had spring brakes on one axle of the truck, and none on the trailer so only three out of five axles would have been working, and once the air all leaked out of the trailer can, the trailer brakes would have released giving him now one in five axles locked. What most likely happened was his brakes were out of adjustment enough that after a little heating up, they would not hold at all, and there goes a runaway. It will all happen fast, and by the time you start thinking about putting it in the ditch, you are going faster and the more you think about NOT crashing in the ditch and trying to save it, the faster you are going. Have you ever driven down the highway at 30 MPH and looked out the door and thought about stepping out? when you finally decide it's the only way, and you look again, you are now doing 60 MPH. Tough choice to make, and soon you just start thinking about what dying is going to feel like when you loose it over the side. Yes, they should have immediately done what they did; instead of waiting till they were going that fast, but hind sight is always 20/20. Until they thought of it, and then decided to do it, they were really moving, and the more they thought about whether it would work or just kill them both. The guy in back had no choice, it was try it and maybe die, or not try it and surely die. The guy in the front did have a choice, but he chose to take a chance on being killed in the wreck to try and save someone else. That my friends is the mark of a brave person. How do I know all this? I started hauling logs in Alaska in 1974 and have been doing it in Oregon, Washington every day since then. In the early days, I have lost my brakes; I put one in the ditch to stop when I first started driving and did not know that much about brakes and adjustment. I rolled one over to stop when the air lines froze up and I didn't know it until I tried the brakes on a steep down grade, by then it was too late. Ever heard the song Wolf Creek Pass? Yes, that is what it feels like when you step on the brake pedal and nothing happens,
not true.
all I need to say is, weight going down hill will roll.
Even engine compression brakes or jake brakes usually don’t completely hold @ 20,000 in the box never mind a full load
Well, it was a really steep hill, so I am not sure that would have worked ... but it is a good call ...
You are right Teresa ...
А двигателем тормозить никак не судьба
You never know when the shit is heading your way ... lol
This cab smells like turds 🤔😝
If he is hauling frozen we're the refrigerator on the front of trailer
Unbelievable! I can't believe some one would put out a video like that! I think that was the most stupid Video ever!! What happen to the safety stop before you descend a mountain in a 18 wheeler? I always just tap the air breaks till there empty all the time! It makes it fun coming off a mountain. LMAO
I wonder what happen to his Anchor and chain? That's mandatory safety equipment. LMAO
Well, this was a re-enactment of what really happened, maybe they didn't have the same regulations in Canada ...
Well, it was a re-enactment of what happened in Canada, and in those days they didn't have as many rest stops ... or brake check areas ... as they do now ...
Dumb downshift....
They were going too fast for that I think ...
This is nothing I survived chicago
