Mapping the Collapse of Sub-Primes

This interactive map from the Financial Times shows how the collapse in sub-prime mortgage backed securities has rippled across the financial world.

It makes very good use of the interactive features of Flash. You can watch the eruptions of trouble over time, and then click on each trouble spot for a more detailed story. It's a repackaging of information that the FT has already reported, but brilliantly done. (Hat tip to FP Passport.)
