The Shanghai SSE composite index fell below 2000 tonight (still trading). This is the lowest level since late 2006. The index is off about two-thirds from the peak.

This is a stunning stock market crash, and it's not just the Shanghai composite - it's an Asian market rout:

The Hang Seng is off 6%.

The Nikkei 225 is off 5%.

The Seoul Composite is off close to 6%.
