🏦 Lehman Brothers Collapse: Inside the $613 Billion Bankruptcy That Broke Wall Street
How did one investment bank — and a few frantic days in September 2008 — trigger a global financial meltdown? In this video we go behind the scenes of the largest bankruptcy in U.S. history: the build-up of risk, the catastrophic 48 hours, and the cascading fallout that reshaped markets and policy worldwide.

• The critical 48 hours: decisions, missed options, and why rescue attempts failed
