“Raining Brokers? Wall Street Investors Fall from the Sky in Bizarre Market Crash”
New York City — April 3, 2025
In a scene that felt ripped straight from a Hollywood disaster flick, chaos erupted in Lower Manhattan this morning as Wall Street investors—yes, actual human investors—began plummeting from the sky.
Witnesses described the event as both horrifying and oddly poetic, a financial apocalypse playing out in real-time.
“I was just taking a smoke when a half naked body came falling down right in front of me,” said Steve Kaplan, a barista from the Blue Bottle Coffee near the New York Stock Exchange. “This has been a really traumatic morning and I'm not sure how I'll ever sleep again."
The phenomenon started around 9:15 AM, just before the opening bell, when eyewitnesses noticed the first falling figures over Wall Street. By 9:30, traders, analysts, and hedge fund managers were descending in waves. Analysts at the American Herald now believe these suicides are a part of a contingency built into the contracts of elite financiers, designed to reverse course in the event of catastrophic market downturns—both metaphorical and literal.
Despite the widespread panic, some saw the event as a well-timed metaphor for Wall Street’s unchecked ambitions. “They’ve been playing with financial gravity for years,” noted economist Dr. Henry Talbot. “This time, it looks like gravity played back.”
While most airborne brokers managed a landing, the stock market wasn’t as lucky. The Dow Jones plunged 2,500 points in minutes, mirroring the descent of its most daring traders.
As cleanup crews worked to clear designer loafers and scattered briefcases from the streets, Wall Street seemed eerily calm. Perhaps, for once, the market had learned a lesson: what goes up must come down.
