A Fortnight of Black Mondays

I got to wonder about THE Black Monday of the Wall Street Crash fame, and when researching it, found 13 Black Mondays listed between Easter Monday 1209 and September 29, 2008. It is definitely an unlucky day of the week. Here are the stories of those thirteen Black Mondays, and one or two more we've had since.
