There was some clearer signs before the crisis that things were not going according to plan.

I remember hearing about the subprimes one or two years before the crisis (and I'm nowhere near the financial fields).

Also, the amount of money/loans put in circulation was excessive. Basically the monetary mass growth should more or less be equal to inflation+economic growth. It was far exceeding this values at the time. And what is worrying is that quantitative easing is basically that on steroids.
