Photos: Gutted stockbrokers around the world watch markets tank after the Brexit vote

The Brexit vote has led Britain’s prime minister, David Cameron to call it quits, politicians to call for the reunification of Ireland and independence for Scotland—and even Londoners to petition their new mayor for a vote on independence from the rest of England.

Brexit is breaking apart more than Europe and Britain’s territories, though.  In the immediate aftermath, the world’s markets in currencies, stocks, and commodities are getting pummeled, forcing traders and investors to absorb the shockwaves.
