I can imagine a realistic scenario when 95% of hash power disappears in a second.

A super massive solar coronal mass ejection could fry electronics on Earth and take out power in many areas for weeks. But if that happened Bitcoin's breakdown would be the least of our worries.

If btc has a 90% drop in a short period of time, a lot of miners would turn off their equipment
