Friday's close was "interesting", to put it mildly.
Here's a chart of Friday's price action in the /ES, the S&P 500 "Electronic" Futures:

Notice the huge volume spike (the blue underlay) on the chart at the close.
There were 146,083 contracts traded in that one-minute period between 14:59 and 15:00 (Central); the next minute, when the real dislocation hit, traded 91,774 - after the cash market bell had rung.
