Facebook Inc has racked up plenty of milestones in its pioneering journey.

Now the social-media giant is poised to add one it would doubtless rather avoid: the biggest stock-market wipe-out in American history.That could happen Thursday if the 24 per cent tumble in Facebook's stock in after-hours trading is replicated in the regular New York session.

Its market capitalization plummeted late Wednesday, at one point by about $151 billion, as sales and user growth disappointed investors.

A move of that magnitude on Thursday would likely be the largest ever loss of value in one day for a US-traded company.The following is a look at some of history's other notable one-day share slams, considering American firms that were worth at least $150 billion in any year over the past decade.The chart shows biggest one-day losers in the market Back in the depths of the tech bust, Intel Corp lost about $91 billion on one September day in 2000.

Exxon Mobil Corp, already reeling from the financial crisis and recession in October 2008, lost $53 billion one wretched Wednesday that month.

And the slowest profit growth at Apple Inc in 10 years triggered a loss of almost $60 billion on January 24, 2013.Facebook ended the after-hours session down 20 per cent at $173.50, a loss of about $126 billion in market cap, having declined as much as 24 per cent earlier.
