  • Mazda crashes in Los Angeles Riverbed after high-speed pursuit - Rotator Recovery. What a quick and fun job this turned out to be, made easy with my 3M Delta Bosun Chair Harness. This Mazda flew off the freeway (101 North at Vine) and crashed through the guardrail, landing upside down in the LA riverbed. We chose Big Flipper, our 75ton rotator, due to the tag axle and better turning radius. Space was tight, but we made it work.
    Once setup, the job was relatively easy. BA car recovery straps to the main lines, then up and over. Of course, the hardest part was me not looking scared when being lifted back over the wall! And yes, the driver was fine believe it or not!

      Back in 2014 I had a new Jeep Cherokee lose control in front of me on a bridge approach near Oxnard, CA. It went through the guard rail, took off then rolled down the embankment to the rail line and the young lady pretty much walked away. CHP just shrugged their shoulders at my amazement and said “That’s new cars for you”.

    • @Fix_It_Again_Tony
      @Fix_It_Again_Tony Před 2 lety +3

      I agree. They achieved increased safety with less metal. Think about the weight of old cars vs new. They removed metal from areas it wasn't needed, added crumple zones to absorb energy and strengthened the safety cage around the occupants. Now the deformation happens in a more controlled and predictable way. Extensive crash testing, computer modeling and safety standards all combine to reduce crash fatalities.
      Automakers are continuing to improve safety by utilizing high strength steel and carbon fiber reinforced plastic. Aluminum is also being used to reduce weight where strength is not as important.

      @morriewyatt6234 Před 2 lety

      Just a guess, but as the car is also a "Crime Scene", the normal practice of throwing the car parts into the car might raise the possibility of spoilation of evidence claims in court.
      (I just hope Trent's Red Bull can doesn't count.) So it might have been a request by the police.

I love the extra you put in your videos by using the drone, it gives a whole new perspective to the process, that with the multiple views, you capture all points of a lift. Thanks for the great content which is a true testament to you and your crew!!!

      Don't go knocking Trent at Plaza. No two recoveries are alike. They both do great jobs. Matter of fact if you saw the the video Josh did on a long distance call where it was a joint effort with Plaza it was Darl who took the lead and Josh was really appreciative of how there was teamwork when they never worked a job together before. Not for nothing if you want to see some good videos go to the Sumter Wrecker channel. He only has wreckers and flatbeds. No rotators.

Just making the observation that I had previously assumed that your channel was the larger of the two, and that I was surprised to learn otherwise. I like your content better than Ron's or Trent's because the recoveries are much more unique and interesting. More importantly, your presentation and videography have drastically risen above the rest since the first video of yours I once watched (probably mustang off a cliff). To repeat what I said above, I like your channel and always look forward to watching when I see them pop up in my notifications.

    I have to ask.,... why does the car show up as a purple/maroonish color on the drone, but on the go pro it looks more like a burnt orange kind of color?

      It likely has to do with the color space of the video from the GoPro versus the drone. Could be the sensor, could be a setting... You can do the same with your phone. Most TVs even have presets for various color spaces that you can choose from.

      @@hauntedshadowslegacy2826 You know your stuff and are 100% correct. Both are shot in flat, then color corrected in post. The drone is much more true to real life. The GoPro sensor is much smaller and does not capture as much detail as the drone. If I shoot in default settings, the GoPro tends to over saturate and mess up the highlights and shadows.
