Banner Plane Crash In Myrtle Beach South Carolina Stuns Beachgoers

Author Debbie Nance

We just returned from one of our many trips this summer to Myrtle Beach.  So, we weren’t on hand when the Myrtle Beach banner plane crash happened Monday morning.  However, The Sun News says a banner plane crashed into the ocean at 40th Avenue.  Beach visitors went into the water to assist the pilot, who reportedly is ok and being treated at a hospital.

Reports say the Myrtle Beach banner plane crash happened around 11:30 a.m.  Authorities will investigate.  But, the cause of the crash is not known right now.  In looking at bystanders’ videos, sometime just after noon the banner plane was in the water with the banner still on the sand.  Onlookers described the moments before the crash as quiet.

Of course, anyone familiar with Myrtle Beach sees the planes that often fly above the beach advertising various businesses in the area.  And, you rarely see any problems arise from the planes.  So, it’s certainly alarming when you hear of such an incident.

I remember many a time looking up at the banners and taking note of the businesses they advertise.  In fact, some of our dinner or entertainment plans arose from things we saw displayed on the banner planes.

We continue to watch for more information concerning the condition of the pilot and what led to the crash.  For more see the full story from The Sun.

US News Says This Vacation Destination Is The Best Place In South Carolina To Call Home

We love a friendly rivalry between cities. And we love to see who comes out on top in those rivalries when publications put together different lists. This time it’s the Best Places To Live. And this list comes from a reputable source- US News and World Report. As South Carolina residents we know there are plenty of fantastic places to call home in the Palmetto State. There is something for everyone. Each year US News ranks the best places to live in the US, and while two North Carolina cities made the top 10, some South Carolina cities weren’t too far behind as great cities to call home!

And the top cities to call home in South Carolina? It’s not what I would have guessed. In fact, it’s a place you probably visit, and maybe even have a vacation home at. I would have thought the bigger cities would have topped this vacation destination as a place to call home in South Carolina though.  You can read all the information on the methodology US News uses in ranking cities here. Below you’ll find the top 5 places to live in South Carolina. Why seven? It’s the cities that are among the nation’s 150 most populous. You’ll also see where they stack up overall against the rest of the United States. And below that, you’ll find the top places to live in the US.
