A scene from Saving Private Ryan 1998
Sgt. Horvath

Stars.

Lt. DeWindt

Yeah, Brigadier General Amend, deputy commander, 101st. Some **** genius had the great idea of welding a couple of steel plates onto our deck to keep the general safe from ground fire. Unfortunately, they forgot to tell me about it until we were just getting airborne. Well, that's like trying to fly a freight train. OK? Gross overload. Trim characteristics all shot to hell. I nearly broke both my arms trying to keep her level. And when- and when we released, you know I cut as hard as I could, tried to gain some altitude and still keep her from stalling. We came down like a **** meteor. And that is how we ended up. And the others, they stopped easy enough OK, though, you know? We were just-we were just too damn heavy, you know? The grass was wet, downward slope and all. 22 guys dead.

Capt. Miller

Lt. DeWindt

One man.

Pvt. Reiben

Lot of that going around.
