Transcription: On Tuesday, October 29, 1929, more than 16 million shares were traded on the New York Stock Exchange. Loss for the day? $15 billion. Black Tuesday brought the wheels of speculation to a shuddering, sickening stop. The 10 years that followed the crash of 29 constitute the age of the Great Depression, a terrible scarring experience that changed the country and its people forever. In the whole history of US financial panics and depressions, there had never been one like this that lasted as long and inflicted the wholesale poverty and tragedy.
