Gaisgich sa Bhealaich/Highway Heroes
Documentary following tow truck drivers in California. When the worst snowstorm of the season pounds Donner Summit, the tow teams become heroes.
Gach geamhradh, air Pr矛omh-rathad a h-Ochdad ann an California, faisg air Bealach Donner agus baile Truckee, tha tr矛 sgiobaidhean de thobhadairean a' cur am beatha ann an cunnart gus draibhearan ann an 猫iginn a sh脿bhaladh agus a thobhadh. Seo fear dhe na rathaidean as cunnartaiche ann an Aimearaga, agus tha am program seo a' leantainn dhraibhearan a dh'fhaodas
faighinn suas ri c貌ig-deug calla san latha. Bidh aca ri a dhol a-mach ann an cabhadh agus ann an stoirmean re貌ithte, agus c貌mhla ri sneachd is cabhadh, tha leathadan cas, carbadan ann an craobhan.
Nuair a tha an stoirm as miosa dhen gheamhradh a' bualadh Mullach Donner, sin nuair a tha na tobhadairean nan gaisgich. Tha Sam Jackson a' d猫anamh a dh矛cheil gus tobhadh a chumail bho uisgeachan re貌ithte. Tha Eddie steicte ann an stopadh traifig, agus fhad 's a tha e ann, tha a bhean a' cur calla thige a dh'innse dha gu bheil an naoidhean air a shlighe.
Every treacherous winter on California's US Interstate 80, near Donner Pass, three teams of hardcore tow truck drivers risk their lives rescuing stranded and wrecked motorists littered across one of the most dangerous roads in America. It is all about high risk and high reward, with each driver responding to as many as fifteen calls a day, sending them out in blinding blizzards and ice
storms in the dead of night.
When the worst snowstorm of the season pounds Donner Summit, the tow dogs become heroes. Sam Jackson struggles to keep a tow from a watery grave. Eddie Farrow gets stuck in a massive traffic nightmare, and receives a desperate call from his pregnant wife. She's in the same traffic jam, and may be going into labour.
