"Tuesday, a 1:07 p.m. ET tweet from the Associated Press exclaimed "Breaking: Two Explosions in the White House and Barack Obama is injured." It was a hoax, but within seconds, Wall Street was in panic mode, sending the Dow Jones Industrial Average into free-fall and erasing nearly $200 billion off the broader market's value."
Was this a test? Economists experimenting with how an event like this might effect the economy???

Sick world we live in.
I remember Tuesday after the marathon fiasco, MSNBC had financial
analysts with all types of charts and graphs explaining how the ensuing
drama affected the NASDAQ.
Anyone else feel alarmed that we
are creating a world where gigantic acts of violence create massive
amounts of profits for corporations? Anyone else see where this is
going?
