Here's a chart of the DIA showing a steady decline...

stockcharts.com

Here's INDU

stockcharts.com

The drop started on the DIA @2pm sharp

The drop on the INDU started 15mins later (already back logging)

At 2:50pm the DIA was reading $122.50 or "12250 DOW"

At 2:50pm the INDU was reading 12350 (it should have been 12250)

It was like a clogged sewer pipe and @3pm came the flush...
