Ask mecha: I need a still from the movie Apollo 13. Specifically the scene where the engineers are looking at the miscellaneous pieces parts on the table that they have to fashion a breathing (?) system out of. Help?

I found this AskMe thread, but thought the brainiacs here might also be of help.

I have the DVD, but I won't be home until later tonight. If no one's stepped up to the plate by then, email me (in profile) and I'll see if I can hook you up.

Assuming that's what you're asking for? A DVD-resolution screen capture?

hellbient - yeah that's the end product! I was after the shot where the guys who created that solution look befuddled - at the beginning of the problem - at all the crap the guy threw on the table.

Capn that would be fabulous!

Ok, I'll see what I can do when I get home tonight.

I love the scene where they're first giving the astronauts the instructions "Ok, now take operations manual a-347-B7" "got it" "tear the cover off" "..."
