Six-Year-Old News Story Causes United Airlines Stock to Plummet -- UPDATE Google Placed Wrong Date on Story | Threat Level from Wired.com

wow that sucks.. I imagine it would have been a great time to buy in after everyone sold out. It'll probably go back up some once people realized what happened.

Wonder if there will be any class action suits from people who sold on the downslope... Definitely would have been a good time to jump in once the real news was out.

" Panic ensued, as they say, and United Airlines stock price plummeted 75 percent (down from $12.30 to $3 a share) before someone realized it was an old news story and things righted themselves. The stock rebounded to $10.92 a share by Monday's closing."

i bet that was a hell of a ride,those who catched it made a pile of cash

I like the part about the link reappearing after X years because it was a slow traffic period and 1 person had read it, so it got a link on the front page.

Essentially 1 click cost someone $x,xxx,xxx and made someone else that much.

I wonder how long before we see a repeat (now its proven to work).

Could be someone trying out some new pump and dump tactic. Well works like a charm, that's for sure. Scrapers taking over the economy
