9th worst market drop since 1929

Dow down 733 points (7.87%), its 9th worst day in history (and 7th worst since 1929). I wish the stupid press would stop reporting the meaningless "fact" that it's the 2nd worst point drop in history.

The Dow is now at 8578, exactly where it was last Thursday. My TV had told me that the bulls were in charge. Stupid TV.

ETA: A lot of sources give the above list as worst drops ever, but that is incorrect. There were drops of 8.7% in 1899 and 8.3% in 1907 that are not represented above.
