FIRST UNITED AIRLINES, NOW THIS: Trading halted on NYSE floor. “Trading in all symbols was halted on the New York Stock Exchange floor Wednesday due to an apparent technical issue.”

UPDATE: Also, the Wall Street Journal. Though it’s back up now.

ANOTHER UPDATE: “Would this be a bad time to suggest more electronic voting machines?”

MORE: Today’s glitches are imitating the plot of ‘Die Hard’ 4. So we’re living in a Christmas movie? Oh, wait.
