black Friday

hah more like the great depression i think=]

Answer:

The Crash of 1929 is usually dated to October 29, 1929, which is called "Black Tuesday". (The name "Black Friday" refers to a lot of things, but not to any market crash.) On "Black Tuesday", the stock prices tracked by the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped by 11.7%--the third largest percentage drop in history. The crash had begun on the 23rd and the 28th actually had a larger drop, but the 29th is remembered as a day of capitulation and panic.

October 28, 1929 was known as "Black Monday" for decades, until the name was taken away by the even more spectacular crash of October 19, 1987, which still holds the record for the largest one-day percentage drop.
