Why did the Stock Market crash happen in 1929?

The investors were buying more and more loans so they could buy more stocks without worrying about wheather they had enough money for food.

There were 13 million stocks bought on October 24, 1929, the day also known as Black Thursday. Because so many stocks were bought, the stock ticketer kept getting more and more behind on updating the stock prices as they went up, so the investors were selling their stocks for less then what they were worth. Since the ticketer wasn't keeping track of all the stocks shown, not every stock sold was completely accounted for , which in turn made the investors very angry. During the entire time of the Stock Market Crash, the price ofthe stocks just kept getting lower and lower until there wasn't much left of the Stock Market.
