  • Dang, look how vibrant the NYSE was....

    Thanks very much for posting!

  • Fantastic clips! You have no idea how much I appreciate you posting this, and the older CNBC clips. Thanks so much! :)

  • Great stuff!

    This actually happened on October 27, 1997 in response to the Asian financial crisis. Now their markets are crashing because of the U.S. I believe it is the only time they actually used the circuit breakers to shut down the NYSE because of the magnitude of the decline.

    Keep the videos coming.
