We should perhaps talk about what strategies to use in the case of a world stock crisis ..as is the discussion topic. Yes lived and trade through many a world crisis start to finish....and I maintain if you think you are a good trader then the bench mark measuring stick is how robust your portfolio balance looks after a it has been "raped" by a sharp crash.
