The New York Stock Exchange, United Airlines and the Wall Street Journal have all fallen victim to a series of massive technical glitches within hours of each other. NYSE halted all trading for 'technical reasons' at 11:32am and only reopened at 3:10pm - but says the problem is an internal one and not the result of a cyberattack.

The Wall Street Journal was also left unable to publish after its systems came under attack and has been forced to switch to an alternative site design.

The city (an illustration of what a portion may look like is shown top left) would be built on concrete platforms capable of supporting tall buildings.
