A helicopter was flying around above Seattle yesterday when an electrical malfunction disabled all of the aircrafts electronic navigation and communications equipment. Due to the clouds and haze, the pilot could not determine the helicopters position and course to steer to the airport.



The pilot saw a tall building, flew toward it, circled, drew a handwritten sign, and held it in the helicopters window. The pilots sign said 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 said YOU ARE IN A HELICOPTER OVER SEATTLE.



The pilot smiled, waved, looked at his map, determined the course to steer to the Seattle airport, and landed safely.



After they were on the ground, the co-pilot 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 totally useless answer!
