There's measures in place now to prevent 1929 from happening again. Panic sell-offs can only do so much.

Are We On The Verge Of A Massive Emerging Markets Currency Collapse?
This time, the Federal Reserve has created a truly global problem. A big chunk of the trillions of dollars that it pumped into the financial system over the past several years has flowed into emerging markets. But now that the Fed has decided to begin "the taper", investors see it as a sign to pull the "hot money" out of emerging markets as rapidly as possible. This is causing currencies to collapse and interest rates to soar all over the planet. Argentina, Turkey, South Africa, Ukraine, Chile, Indonesia, Venezuela, India, Brazil, Taiwan and Malaysia are just some of the emerging markets that have been hit hard so far.

Good call Philly market is down 800 this month. Not a crash but certainly a wake up call.

US teeters towards debt default, cash could run dry by end of Feb
On Friday, America’s debt limit extension expires and Congress is expected to renew its legal $16.7 trillion debt cap. If the debt limit isn’t raised, the US could burn through its cash as soon as February 28, Secretary Treasurer Jacob Lew warns.
“Time is short. Congress needs to act to extend the nation’s borrowing authority, and it needs to act now,” Lew told an audience at the Bipartisan Policy Center, a Washington DC think tank.
The Stock Market In Japan Is Collapsing
Did you see what just happened in Japan? The stock market of the 3rd largest economy on the planet is imploding. On Tuesday, the Nikkei fell by more than 610 points. If that sounds like a lot, that is because it is. The largest one day stock market decline in U.S. history is only 777 points. So far, the Dow is only down about 1000 points during this "correction", but the Nikkei is down more than 2,300 points. The Nikkei has dropped more than 14 percent since the peak of the market, and many analysts believe that this is only just the beginning.

This is gaining plausibility. Nikkei was propped up by Abe. No reason it should be this high. No reason the S&P should be this high either. One of the canaries in the coal mine during the last crash was the Ruble falling apart believe it or not, and it set a new low this week.
Like I said though, it would take something on a much bigger scale to make it an actual crash. A correction is long overdue though. Let's not go through a correction and get all proud of yourself for falsely calling for a "crash".
China falling apart would kill it, but China makes up numbers and nobody checks them on it, so it may need to come from somewhere else.Comment -
China dry shipping cargo numbers paint a more accurate picture.Comment -
No where near a crash, not even in the same ball park. A correction hasn't even happened yet and by the looks of it, it might not.Comment
