Yeah, I skipped all video of this thing because there were people on that bridge. Some links just need to stay un-clicked. But that's good to know, thank you.

I interpreted "power" as "propulsion", but I suppose a ship-wide blackout could do that too.

I won't tell you what to do, but I watched the video, and I couldn't tell that any people were on the bridge.

I wouldn't have known anyone was even on it to get hurt except for all the news coverage.

Like on star trek. Love it.

Power could also be electrical power and propulsion could be engine power.

No, you can literally watch the lights go out and since the electric power comes from the engine, that likely means they lost the engine, especially considering that puff of black smoke, the lights coming back on, then dark again.
