I remember that some of the risk analysts for some of the investment banks were once being grilled in congress about the likelihood of the market crashing in 2008. They were quoted as saying that the chance of a market sell-off was a sixty-four standard deviation chance.
Someone pointed out that the Earth spontaneously imploding into a black hole with seemingly no explanation on that day was only 32 standard deviations. But no "line go down" was simply an impossibility.
