As bad as the stock market crashed today (Sept 15, 2008) it was only a 4.4% drop. Not even in the top 20.

The 1914 decline was the result of failure to take account of substitutions to the index during the trading halt. The actual DJIA was up a fraction on the first day of trading after the halt.
The ‘87 decline is top o’the heap although the Oct. 28-29 1929 cumulative beats it by a percentage point or so.
