When trading stopped, the Dow had tumbled 512 points, finishing at 75-39.
That's a six percent loss.
The technology-heavy Nasdaq lost almost eight-and-a-half percent, closing just below 15-hundred.

A circuit judge today RE-affirmed his decision to reduce a FELONY theft charge involving a former Pulaski County Sheriff's deputy.
In March, Terry Smith pleaded guilty to FELONY theft for stealing a 290-dollar above ground swimming pool.
This morning, Judge Colin Gibb sentenced Smith to a fine, community service and a year's probation.
You may recall, the judge's decision to reduce the charge to a MISDEMEANOR angered Commonwealth's Attorney, Everett Shockley.
Prosecutor Shockley had hoped the judge would change his mind today after learning that while awaiting sentencing Smith was caught driving with a radar detector.
Shockley says he has a real problem with what HE views as preferential treatment and intends to challenge the judge'
