I just hope this wasn't an espionage hit through the net.
I'm no Captain, but I can promise you that you aren't cutting power to a ship from a laptop.
That movie sucked, btw, even with Angelina Jolie in it.
Everyone freaks the fuck out when shit like this happens. Nevermind the sheer amount of transport that goes on in the US daily. Like the train that went tits up in Ohio last year or so.
It isn't something global Putin, Nazi, ISIS, John Birch Society, SLA, Weathermen, CIA false flag all the time.
Sometimes shit just happens.

That's exactly what they want you to believe, man.

Purposefully integrate ship's wireless system that is internet enabled to interact with the power generation and transmission system onboard.
Run default passwords on the SCADA system
Disable Alarms via the SCADA system
Do an Emergency stop on power.
Now, most of the time anything with Emergency stop enabled is not going to have that enabled for remote access, it is going to be a big red button under a Lexan box and that box has a battery and an alarm that rings everywhere when opened. It is usually there in case there is a fire or something where the main room has to be made safe before entering.
People have configured similar systems to be remotely accessable in the past, but I really, really doubt anyone did this on this boat. If it was someone had to over-ride every protection system so they could run a ship's power from their home laptop.
It's theoretically plausible but unlikely. Really unlikely.
