WTH flash crash

Quote from hftvol:

what the heck are you talking about? You could have sold or bought every single tick all the way down and all the way up. Whether we talk s&p futures, currencies, any other futures contracts for that matter. Liquidity was there on both sides. Stop wining. You are just pissed off because you missed the move or did not have the balls to join. Move on but stop blaming the wrong people here.

Bob is not talking about futures, where hft are a lot less intrusive and damaging. He talks about individual equities.

What world are you living in?
 
In the world of truth, my friend. In the world of facts. Look at the tape, look at how yen crosses traded, look at ES futures, look at the bond futures. There was plenty of size on either side to have partaken in the move down and back up. I am not saying it was an easy trade but I am saying that claiming that it was a jump and nobody could have joined and also saying that hft firms just vanished and that there was no liquidity is simply untrue. Look at the facts and stop talking out of your emotions.
