>      A helicopter was flying above Seattle 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 handwritten
> sign
> and
>      held it up in the helicopter window. The pilot's sign
> said,``Where
> am
>      I?'' in large letters. The people in the tall building quickly
>      responded
>      to the aircraft, drewa large sign and held it to the window of
> their
>
>      building. Their sign read,``You are in a helicopter.'' The pilot
>
>      smiled,
>      waved, looked at the map, determined the course to steer to the
> 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!''
