funny how stuff like this seems to happen at the worst possible moment
You'd think people/firms with the means to sell $186,000,000 worth of stock (and the order wouldn't hit the market and cause this flash crash if they didn't have the means) would also have the means to install safeguards AGAINST this kind of "fat-fingered" mistake we see all too often during periods of volatility.
