What was the front page of a newspaper on May 1st 1999?

Answer 1

Air France which was scheduled to fly from Charles de Gaulle International Airport near Paris, to John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City. On 25 July 2000, it crashed into a hotel in Gonesse, France. All one hundred passengers and nine crew members on board the flight died. On the ground, four people were killed and one left with serious injuries.

Answer 2

It would be helpful to know which city or state (or country) you are asking about, since front page stories vary from place to place; the number of stories on the front page also varied, with the typical front page having about four big stories on it. May 1, 1999 was a Saturday, which means congress wasn't in session and for some newspapers, that meant there was more local news than national or political news on the front page. For example, in Rockford, Illinois, the Register Star newspaper had a front-page story about the building of a new Target superstore, the first superstore in the area. In Madison, Wisconsin, the front page story in the Wisconsin State Journal was about the need for a mediator to help settle a labor dispute between the Madison School District and the teachers' union. The other big front page story for the State Journal was a story it reprinted from a wire service, about the plight of the refugees in Kosovo.

In St. Albans, Vermont, the Daily Messenger placed a national story on page 1: a meeting that Rev. Jesse Jackson had with three prisoners of war being held captive in Yugoslavia; he was trying to win their freedom. (This was an Associated Press story, and it ran on page 1 of a number of newspapers that same day, including the Syracuse NY Herald Journal, and the Chicago Daily Herald.) In Cedar Rapids, Iowa, the big story on the front page of the Gazette was about local schools reviewing security procedures to protect students, after the recent school shootings in Colorado; and about an investigation into the problems that had occurred with evacuation procedures when a fire broke out at an Iowa City sports café.

I do not have real-time data or information on specific newspapers from May 1st, 1999. You would need to consult archives or databases of newspapers from that date to see the front page.
