I felt compelled to pass this one on. Enjoy!
Seattle (AP) - A helicopter was flying around above Seattle
yesterday when an electrical malfunction disabled all of
the aircraft's electronic navigation and communications
equipment. Due to the clouds and haze, the pilot could not
determine the helicopter's position and course to steer to
the airport.
The pilot saw a tall building, flew toward it, circled,
drew a hand-written sign, and held it in the helicopter's
window. The pilot's sign read "WHERE AM I?" in large
letters. People in the tall building quickly responded to
the aircraft, drew a large sign, and held it in a building
window. Their sign read "YOU ARE IN A HELICOPTER."
The pilot smiled, waved, looked at his map, determined the
course to steer
to SEATAC airport, and landed safely.
After they were on the ground, the copilot asked the pilot
how the "YOU ARE IN A HELICOPTER" sign helped determine
their position.
The pilot responded "I knew that had to be the Microsoft
building because, similar to their help-lines, they gave me
a technically correct but
completely useless answer."
Later,
Jon
