You can just watch the video. All the lights go out twice.
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.
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.
Like on star trek. Love it.
But what does that signify in the context of the scenario in question?
Powering everything down and bringing it back up sounds like an emergency last ditch sort of troubleshooting step, not necessarily some evidence of negligence. They may have just literally done the thing we all know to do first, try turning it off and on again, and they may have done it twice just to be sure.
