On the morning of Sept. 11, 2001 the sky was clear and blue as far as Eddie Hitt could see from over 50,000 feet in the air.
Hitt, a Fed Ex pilot from Yazoo City, was flying to Hartford, Conn. from Memphis, Tenn. when the plane’s captain noticed something strange on the horizon.
“We could see the smoke coming out of the World Trade Center,” Hitt said. “At the time we didn’t think it was anything to be alarmed about. I remember the captain saying it was probably an electrical fire. We never dreamed it was an airplane.”-------for the rest of the story see The Yazoo Herald printed edition or subscribe to the Digital Edition.----------
Dear Editor:
In the 6 April 2013 edition of The Yazoo Herald you published a letter from Cynthia Fuller, "Thanks to (Van) Foster for helping get bridge replaced."
After reading this lettter, I had the impression that the bridge was completed and traffic was moving along normally.
Wrong! Last Sunday I was on my way to homecoming at Providence Baptist Church. I turned north onto old 49 and saw the signs that the bridge was out. I assumed that they hadn't gotten around to removing the signs. I expected to cross Thompson Creek on the new bridge. When I approached the creek the road was barricaded and construction equipment was down in the creek.
Perhaps The Herald can keep us updated as to the progress being made on the new bridge.
