Mazda crashes in Los Angeles Riverbed after high-speed pursuit - Rotator Recovery

[@williamjohnson7414]

Great job!! I was suprissed you didn't pick up the smaller pieces & pitch them in the car!

I think Caltran takes care of the trash.

[@electladynanci]

All I can say is big ups to you and your crew for taking on this job and taking care of business. Also, I have a fear of heights, and nope, nope, nope you wouldn't get me up in that harness no matter how comfortable it is. 😱😱😱

18:40 - The "wrecking ball" bit was GREAT! Nice that you guys can have fun once in a while!!

[@PepesTowingService]

That part had me in stitches lmao

[@funkypaul2822]

This " Image" in "Image" video part was awesome! Again a textbook job. It is proven that the better the tools and equipment, the easier the job. And that safety harness is worth triple it's money! Great Job!!! ( ps: the drone footage is getting better by the day!!)

Yes, I can really see how that wrecking ball did minimal damage, that will totally buff right out. Tires deflate, whistle sound from radiator leak, well, maybe not. :P

Mr Josh Another awesome fishing expedition. Thanks for sharing and stay safe

[@PepesTowingService]

Appreciate it sir!

[@davidchapin8297]

Josh, just wanted to say how much I appreciated the drone and go-pro footage. The way you PIP the drone and then had audio with the drone later was great. I have been very critical of the way you have done to last few videos so I wanted to be sure and compliment you on an excellent job!!

[@robertmobley7678]

I understand that a call can be very expensive per hour, it would have been a quick clean up to toss all the debris in the car before the lift. 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!!!

[@Towman728]

I tried to get the City of Long Beach to purchase a rotator, years ago. We even visited your facility, probably around 2010, to look at your operation They always said no, "We'll contract heavy duty" We got good pay, but you guys have all the fun. I always said, if I didn't have such a good benefit package, I would be working for Pepe's. Now that I'm retired, I live vicariously through your videos. Great video show casing all the new technology of our profession. Be safe. "See you in the ditch" (Speaking of ditch, you left some parts in the ditch. LOL)

[@jcstowing1]

Perfect ad for Red Bull. Drinking it as you were being lifted. Then you say that as I’m typing this. Priceless. Great minds lol

[@owenkingsland1181]

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]

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.

[@bgmckddy]

That was freaking **AWESOME**!!!! Nice job Dave on the double recovery!! From now on they are not "aux lines" they are "Josh lines"!!

[@powertool64]

I was really surprised when a month or so ago you mentioned that "Plaza" was the bigger channel, because your videos are always so much better. The content of the recoveries is great, and the videography is superb. I always look forward to watching when one of your videos pops up in my notifications. Great work!!!!

[@michaelrocker9000]

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.

[@PepesTowingService]

No competition here, we run different businesses and both do great work. Trent is a good guy and has a great team. Looking forward to when I get to work with them again

[@powertool64]

@@PepesTowingService I wasn't suggesting there was a competition. 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.

BTW, that moment the drone captured you in between the winch lines with the car in mid-air, that should be your thumbnail cause its so cool!

Pretty slick set-up. The drone is working out nicely. I guess they will catch the debris at the next catch dam. That car shows how well the airbags work. The driver actually lived to tell the tale and serve the time.... or not.

[@mjk4147]

I'm surprised the cops didn't want you to collect some of the car parts from the river.

[@morriewyatt6234]

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.

[@dustymojave]

As a former Tow Truck Operator in that area, I watched my partner get the jack handle torn out of his hand by a pickup truck right at the same spot (RIGHT where the guard rail is damaged!) and the jack sent spinning across the freeway lanes in heavy morning traffic and heavy rain. We were changing the flat left rear tire of a station wagon full of kids (7 kids) being taken to a private school by the mom of one of them. I was climbing into the back of the car to get out the spare tire at the time. But one thing where I see you have failed here. That is that you should have cleaned up all the debris from the car out of the riverbed. I was taught to always clean up before leaving the scene. In this case, I might have not swept all the glass up.
