An airplane was flying around 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 helicopters position and course to fly to the
airport. The pilot saw a tall building, flew toward it, circled, drew
a handwritten sign, and held it in the airplanes window. The pilot's
sign said "WHERE AM I " in large letters. The 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 PLANE."
The pilot smiled, waved, looked at his map, determined the course to
SEATAC airport, and landed safely, After they were on the ground, the
co-pilot asked the pilot how the "YOU ARE IN A PLANE" sign helped
determine their position. The pilot responded "I knew that had to be
the MICROSOFT building because they gave me a quick, technically
correct, but completely useless answer."
