what happens to short positions if the market crashes?


Hi total noob here as you might have picked up from my question. Let's say I'm considering shorting a stock. What would happen with my short position in the case of a 2008-style crash? I know that stocks transactions can be halted to evit that panic behavior worsen the crisis, but is there anything specific about short positions in such a case? I'm asking because if not, shorting seems to be logical with a looming crisis, or is my assessment naive?
