Overturned tanker causes massive spill - two rotator recovery

Overturned tanker causes massive spill - two rotator recovery. Watch as Big Flipper (75ton rotator) and Hulk (50ton rotator) tackle an overturned tanker in a precarious situation. There were no power lines up ahead, it was not in a tunnel, but that does not mean it was easy. This driver took a non-truck route, and somehow ended up on its side on a two lane uphill overpass. The tank ruptured and spilled hundreds of gallons of waste, flowing close to 1/8th of a mile down.

Before Dave and I could even touch the tanker, an offload crew had to come to empty the tanker and clean the overpass before we could drive up to it. This was a VERY long process, with our rotators being blocked in at the bottom for several hours. After what seemed like forever, we were given the green light and ready to upright.

My plan of using my new tanker tube failed, since it did not fit this specific tanker. Plan B was to rig from the opposite rims as the lift, and catch from the opposite side. First Hulk had to move the tractor over so Dave could fit Big Flipper to position up front. Once everything was rigged, we brought it over very slowly to make sure gravity didn't slide it back into my truck. All in all it went very smoothly and a job for the books!
