Before anyone can conclude logically this is an accident and not an attack / black swan, we should probably check into whether anything relating to the market might be a secondary effect from the bridge collapse or the closing of the portto shipping.
Do we have any potential "Merchant of Venice" type situations or agreements tied into market that could be triggered by an interruption in shipping and commerce at that port?
Is the timing of any of those tie ins such that this event might trigger default and might the chain reaction of a market crash over the coming weeks?
I personally don't know one way or another, but the interconnectedness of our economy with shipping and commerce could easily have some systemic weaknesses aligned with specific times and commerce deliveries which may not be readily apparent at first look.
