The Worst Event of 2008

The Global Economic meltdown was by far the worst thing to have happened in 2008(globally speaking). Markets crashed, jobs were lost and everyone lived in fear as a subprime mortagage crisis in the US snowballed into the greatest economic disaster since the Great Depression. On the bright side, careless, greedy honchos have got a nice kick in the butt and once the crisis is over, share prices might just settle at more realistic levels.
