Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The stock market crash crippled the American economy because not only had individual investors put their money into stocks, so did businesses.

Detailed explanation-2: -Investors who shifted to cash after the 1929 crash faced a 34-year wait to break even, compared with 15 years for those who remained invested and less than 7 years for those who drip-fed additional small amounts in.

Detailed explanation-3: -The sudden drop in stock prices may be influenced by economic conditions, catastrophic event(s), or speculative elements that sweep across the market. Most market crashes are usually short bursts of market downturns that can last for a single day or much longer to bring investors heavy losses.
