The cryptocurrency tumbled from about $296 to a low of $13 in a matter of minutes. The entire decline cannot be seen on the chart, as it shows the price in one-minute increments and doesn't display every tick.

Ethereum has snapped back to around its pre-flash-crash level. It's up about 3,601% so far in 2017.
