Actually ,wasn't the PC bankrupcy in 1970? I remember learning about the PC bankrupcy in college when it happened. I believe this bankrupcy is still the largest in history (?)

Much like the Ontario and Western being considered the biggest railroad to go kaput until the Rock Island went bye-bye in 1980, I guess PC's bankruptcy was the biggest until the likes of Enron, etc.[xx(][xx(]

Well, my only point ws that both were "bigger bankruptcies" Than PC.

It would be interesting to see an inflation factored comparison in terms of "stranded assets as a percentage of the GNP "of the respective bankruptcies
