Wall Street slides at open on recession fears

Stocks fell sharply at the open on Thursday, extending losses for a third day, as a grim outlook from the Federal Reserve and downbeat data in Europe and China heightened fears about a global recession.
The Dow Jones industrial average was down 147.88 points, or 1.33%, at 10,976.96. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index was down 13.82 points, or 1.18%, at 1,152.94. The Nasdaq Composite Index was down 71.89 points, or 2.83%, at 2,466.30.
