Sick plants

It looks like fusarium wilt to me but being in containers makes that less likely unless it got in somehow. I have had fusarium get in containers back when I used some to see if I could get better results than in my garden. It could also be spider mites. I don't think it is gray mold but gray mold does attack black tomatoes fairly regularly down here in the south and those plants are in such an advanced state of sickness that it is really hard to tell what the culprit is.

How did the disease start? How did the first leaves showing problems look? It would have been great to have seen some pics earlier before the complete wilting of the plants to better gauge what was going on.
