      <title>2008 Financial Crisis and the Federal Reserve, Day 1, Part 2</title>
      <description>Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan was the lead witness at the first of three days of hearings by the bipartisan Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission (FCIC). Mr. Greenspan talked about what led up to the financial crisis in the housing markets and reminded the commission of his warning in 2004 to the Senate Banking Committee about sub prime mortgage loans. He called for increased regulations on banks and said that putting too much stock into "a human regulator" was flawed. He noted that the sub prime mortgage-lending crisis began with the end of the Cold War.
Congress formed the ten-member FCIC in May 2009 to examine the causes of the 2008 financial markets meltdown. 
Due to a power outage approximately ten minutes before the end of Mr. Greenspan's testimony, the hearing was briefly interrupted, and the subsequent lack of lighting caused the remainder of the video to be darker than during the rest of the program.</description>

      <title>Causes of 2008 Financial Collapse, Financial Institution Representatives</title>
      <description>The heads of the surviving, large Wall Street investment banks testified before the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission - a group chartered by Congress to look into the causes of the 2008 financial collapse. Bankers acknowledged that their companies took excessive risks in the years leading up to the crisis but said they could not have anticipated the events that precipitated the meltdown. In sometimes contentious questioning, they also defended their investments in mortgage-backed securities and pointed to market conditions, Wall Street practices, and the lack of information as underlying reasons for the financial crisis.
During a break and again after the panel, witnesses spoke informally with members of the press in the room.</description>
