At: 2:46, South Carolina Governor Carroll Ashmore Campbell, Jr. (250-56-6030) says: "and the Pavilion is gonna be coming into view here...see it now in the center of the frame." This is unrelated to the 664 days that passed between TAWANA BRAWLEY being found in a garbage bag, covered in doggie doo on NOV. 28, 1987 and Hurricane Hugo slamming into charlesTON, SC on SEP. 22, 1989 after crossing the Atlantic. Despite BRAWLEY once living at the Pavilion Apartments, unit 19A; I-664 in Hampton Roads

The damage that was done to Myrtle Beach today by re-development is far worse than any hurricane could have done.

Interesting. My Pawley's Island Hugo, video which is all part of this same tape, is where you can hear the man with the governer talk about the helicopter. Near the very end of that video he mentions it being an Apache helicopter. I trust you know what you are talking about. You obviously know a lot if you can tell just by the sound and the limited view from the inside. Thanks for clarifying.

@patookey Yeah, it's not likely that they would put the guv in an attack helicopter to survey some damage. Stranger things have happened though.
