SPX Futures Near Flash Crash Lows.

I'm not convinced the flash crash was human error or computer error. It's looking more like the quant algorithm was using an extremely strong, long-term "leading indicator". The lead time was about 2 weeks. The indicator must have been flashing a major sell signal that the action of selling caused a distortion in the market. Now all that is left is for the market to realize its own fear and generate another crash(es).
