Wall Street crash
Financial panic event
The Wall Street crash refers to a sudden, severe decline in stock prices on the New York Stock Exchange.
The term most often means the crash of October 1929, which triggered the Great Depression: My grandfather lost everything in the Wall Street crash.
Later crashes—1987, 2008—may also be called Wall Street crashes.
