#20YearsAgoOnAOLcom: Oct. 5, 1999 -- Express Travel; London Train Accident; "Buffy" Season 4 Premiere

October 5, 1999: We lead with a pretty generic travel deals block (check out that teeny laptop); the My News headlines reference a London train crash that killed 8 -- the ultimate death toll was 31, with 258 injured:

For the PM update, we went back to TV premieres, with the Season 4 premiere of Buffy the Vampire Slayer:

[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.]
