That Connect Flight in Vancouver...

The stock market is down today and someone missed their connect flight in Vancouver.  Specifically, Huawei's CFO Meng Wanzhou.  You can read more about this in the New York Times:

That's quite an article in the NY Times.  Most people wouldn't think twice about making a connect flight.  True, you can miss a flight due to weather delays or mechanical issues.  But getting arrested between two flights in Canada?  Evidently, it can happen.  What's even more fascinating is that you wouldn't expect an arrest in an airport to rattle the stock market.  Apparently, that's exactly what happened.  Anyhow, it's quite a story and it's having a global impact.  It will be interesting to see what happens with the stock market in the upcoming days.
