Black Tuesday

The phrase Black Tuesday refers to October 29, 1929, five days after the United States stock market crash of Black Thursday, when general panic set in and everyone with investments in the market tried to pull out of the market at once. This week and its aftermath marked the start of the Great Depression in the United States.

Black Tuesday is often referred to as the worst day in Stock Market history, though in terms of percentage loss, the honor goes to Black Monday, 1987.
