History Channel 8 pm tonight.. Alaska: Dangerous Territory

[Crumm]

For generations, Alaska has exerted a powerful pull as the place to head for a job like no other; work that promises the adventure of a lifetime, the chance to strike it rich, and the very real prospect of never making it back alive. Plying their trades on America's last frontier, soldiers, Coast Guard crewmen, bush pilots, and truckers all work for the same boss from hell: a dangerous territory full of the most inhospitable weather and extreme terrain on earth. Even today, Alaska boasts four of the country's top 10 most dangerous jobs. We'll feature dramatic stories of four killer jobs from the last 150 years of Alaskan history and experience what it takes to survive and thrive in this intense and harsh climate by riding along with today's workers and hearing from old-timers who forged the way. And we'll weave in the traditions, technology, and tools that can mean the difference between life and death in Alaska's killer jobs.

Catch it at 8pm and you might just see me

[BamaSixGun]

are yall talkin about the ice road truckers? if so, i watch it every time it comes on, no matter how many times i have seen it before. being in the trucking business, its hard not watch any show that involves bir rigs.

 

[dpantazis]

which trucker were you?

you're not the guy at the begining that had to get his rig hauled by the scraper are you?
or were you one of the pusher rigs on the heater?
i should propalby just watch for the root beer freightliner....
for the record, i studied under bill hall, one of the duo (newmark & hall) who was behind the engineering of the pipeline. the stories he told...

Come on up and I will take you for a spin. I am one of those nutty drivers

Crumm, were you on it???

I don't think I was in it. I was out on the river when it was on but the wife watched it and said she didn't see me. By the way thats a good thing. I was in the movie called The Postman with Kevin Costner and it was a box office flop. I would hate to ruin The History Channel

are yall talkin about the ice road truckers?

Nope this is a new show. I believe it was about several occupations in Alaska but I haven't seen it yet.

you're not the guy at the beginning that had to get his rig hauled by the scraper are you?
or were you one of the pusher rigs on the heater?
i should probably just watch for the root beer freightliner....

Nope and nope. I sold the root beer truck back in 2002. I drive a green and white company truck now.
