Is there any doubt its some kind of cyber attack? Of course it would not be admitted to until later to prevent panic. It seems like any non attack software or hardware issue could be resolve rather quickly.

I feel you are underestimating the number of subpar programmers and software developers employed throughout the world.

I'm so used to being lied to and "managed" that I have the smell of BS in my nostrils at all times.

UAL and NYSE says it was internal glitches, FBI says it is monitoring situation. Something smells fishy. China halt on same day, quite a coincidence, if you believe in those.

Some twisted minds might suggest that this was a well planned computer "halts", and, some groups of people have collected some serious money "trading".
But then, these are "twisted minds" speculations.

I was more worried about zerohedge being down.

just curious-how was the spreads in first 15 min on NYSE or before they halted the whole thing?

This was a coordinated attack.
Finance, media and airlines simultaneously go down at 10:45. Too much of a coincidence.

which one of the great traders on ET made money on the halt? And how many will be bitching, "It just isn't fair!"?
