Paul Allen's Helicopter Makes Emergency Landing

 Among the many toys owned by Paul Allen, the owner of the Portland Trail Blazers, is the Octopus, a 414-foot yacht that is the 11th largest in the world and is often on the seas without the Microsoft co-founder.  This morning, the boat was off the shore of Argentina when one of the two helicopters aboard made an emergency landing, injuring one of the pilots. The boat was reportedly heading to the South Pole Antarctica.
