An emergency meeting is called by the US Treasury Secretary, gathering top Wall Street executives to address the escalating crisis at Lehman Brothers, amidst a backdrop of six months of global financial turmoil.

Wall Street's top investment bank leaders were called to a meeting by US Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson to discuss the fate of Lehman Brothers, which was on the brink of collapse after six months of financial turmoil. Lehman CEO Dick Fuld, ousted from his position, fought to save his company through a merger with Bank of America or Barclays, but without government support, the company's survival and the global economy's stability hung in the balance.
