9-1-1‘s fifth season premiere is proof that one person can make a huge impact on the world — even if that impact happens to be a citywide blackout that sends all of Los Angeles into a violent state of panic.

Fox has released the first footage from 9-1-1‘s Sept. 20 premiere (8/7c), which reveals that the highly publicized blackout is actually the work of a hacker. And if we didn’t know any better, we’d think that hacker was also a huge fan of the show, considering they send out alerts for earthquakes, tsunamis and mudslides. As Chimney notes, “It’s like our greatest hits.”
