Examples of Cascade Failures

Here are some other examples of cascade failures:

  1. The 1965 blackout on the east coast of North America.
  2. The 2003 blackout, again on the east coast.
  3. A bank run is not by itself a cascade failure, but if it causes runs on other ones, it is.
  4. The stock market crash of 2008.
  5. The final fall of the World Trade Towers.
