#20YearsAgoOnAOLcom: Sept. 1, 1999 -- Fall Fare Sale; Beanie Babies

September 1, 1999: We started midweek with a fall airfare sale (featuring covered bridge stock art); in the My News headlines, we had an Argentinian jet crash that killed 65, as well as the continued movement of Hurricane Dennis (1999):

For the PM update, we went with the fashionably popular (for the time) Beanie Baby craze:

[Series note: In the late 1990s, I programmed the content for the AOL.com home page, which relaunched with a new design on July 14, 1998. I printed screencaps and saved them. 20 years later, I'm scanning them in and posting them with a little commentary under the tag #20YearsAgoOnAOLcom.]
