I think plenty of people expected it. Many people have been shouting warnings on the dangers of HFT for years, so I doubt that 'Few Expected' it would all go badly for some wealth destroying Wall St firm some day.
Maybe what was unexpected is that it was the owners of these wealth sucking machine that got burned rather than the 'muppet' retail investors this time.
