15:29 ET "Security incident" in Houston may have been attempted hijacking - Reuters : Reuters reports that the "security incident" in Houston mentioned earlier may have been an attempted hijacking of an American Airlines flight, according to a statement from an FBI spokesman. "It appears to be an attempted hijacking, but I do not have that confirmed," an FBI agent told KHOU-TV in Houston; news reports said passengers reported seeing two men in the cabin with what appeared to be a weapon, possibly a folding knife. The reports said the men were taken into custody.

I doubt that news was a trigger for anything. As Zeev says (paraphrasing), the market already has a game plan most of the time. All it needs is a catalyst. The plane incident might have been a catalyst, but the blatant front running of the patriotic rally was bound to bring a reversal, especially going into OE next week.

We are going down no matter what. BTW, did you see the great news on the Beige Book?
