Wall Street followed Europe in a broad sell-off following a 7.3% overnight plunge in Japan’s stock market.

Weak Chinese manufacturing data helped send Japan’s Nikkei down 1,143.28 points, or 7.3%, to 14,483.98. The drop was reportedly the worst percentage loss since the country’s March 2011 earthquake and ensuing tsunami.
