These busy trade floor pics look like posh Lightning Bolt gigs.

This still cracks me up when I'm reminded of this thread

...ends up in all the pictures because he's unfortunate enough to sit right in front of the chart. Apparently he gets stopped in the street and asked for stock tips!

Those last two are so posed.

I always wonder if anyone really did throw themselves out of the window when markets crashed like what they do in the cartoons.

Ned Trifle II, Wednesday, 23 January 2008 15:05 (sixteen years ago) link

i used to have a Disaster book with that picture in, about the Wall Street crash.

The car is eating that man's leg!

Alba, Wednesday, 23 January 2008 15:07 (sixteen years ago) link

Ned Trifle II, Wednesday, 23 January 2008 15:08 (sixteen years ago) link

Seriously, where is is leg going? Is the door somehow open?

Alba, Wednesday, 23 January 2008 15:10 (sixteen years ago) link

Ste, Wednesday, 23 January 2008 15:11 (sixteen years ago) link

There is no evidence that anyone leapt to their death because of the market crash, although several did shoot themselves. One man decided to end his misery by leaving his gas stove on and then taking a long nap. And then there was the guy who had a heart attack at his broker's office watching the dropping numbers on the ticker tape. The one person reported to jump from an upper floor of the Plaza Hotel in New York City, did so several days before the market tumbled. Will Rogers, the great humorist, picked up on it and included the "jumping out of windows" in his routine for a number of years, and so the legend.

I noticed some of the fancier Jersey City restaurants looked pretty empty last night. Could have just been typical cold Tuesday night though.
