Default London Stock Exchange crippled by system outage

The London Stock Exchange suffered its worst systems failure in eight years on Monday, forcing the world's third largest share market to suspend trading for about seven hours and infuriating its users.

The problem occurred on what could have been one of London's busiest trading days of the year, as markets rebounded worldwide following the U.S. government's decision to bail out mortgage companies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

Amazing. Simply amazing.

That and United Airline's confusion over a supposed bankruptcy....

Monday was definitely one of the craziest days at the market I've ever seen.
