It was September 29, 2008 when Dow Jones had crashed 7 per cent, causing losses to investors within no time. In the next 20 days, the US market had crashed another 20 per cent. 

The economic crisis resulted in a decline in economic activities and left people jobless. The financial crisis literally shattered the US economy and also the world economy.
