MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (AP) - The Coast Guard has
sent a letter to local governments along the Grand Strand warning they
may have to limit rescue activities along the northern South Carolina
beaches unless they can stop the problems of green lasers being aimed at
aircraft.
The Sun News of Myrtle Beach reports the cities of Myrtle Beach and North Myrtle Beach have already banned the lasers, while Horry County is considering a ban.
The Coast Guard says it has
had to abandon at least six rescue missions in the past six months. The
green lasers are more powerful that other lasers and can temporarily
blind pilots, especially when they're wearing night vision goggles.
Federal officials say it is a crime that carries up to five years to shoot a laser at an aircraft.
