Robin Williams died :(

More serious answer: Only thing I can think is that's around when the current political divide started. It's when earnest fascists in America started figuring themselves out and learning how to articulate what they wanted. There were also a lot of sudden scary disasters that year, like plane crashes and an ebola outbreak. That's also the year Russia annexed Crimea and there was a ton of news coverage about how Armageddon was gonna happen soon because of it

But it's also more likely a delayed effect of the impact of the 08 recession.
