The students evicted all the administrators and let in hundreds more protesters throughout the afternoon and night, until the number mushroomed to 500.

The lights go out, air-conditioning (or heating) shuts down. Once it becomes clear that this is no temporary brownout, the public begins to panic. At the power utilities, engineers can't understand why the network shut off, and can't get it to start up again. It's hours before the truth emerges: a terrorist group (or a hostile country, or some evil-genius hacker) has broken into the computer...
