Hitting one circuit breaker, while certainly exceptional, today's market was not quite as bad as Black Monday (1987) -22.6% and Black Tuesday (1929) −11.73%. Today was -7.79%.
All percentages are the DJIA, since it's hard to find reliable S&P numbers going back to 1929 -- the S&P 500 was introduced in 1957.
