I think total system collapse is used synonymously with a total societal collapse, which could stem from a single infrastructure system collapsing. Quite a thing to happen in a single day.
Blackout doesn't strictly refer to electrical. Communication blackout is an example. Another example is for certain sports on TV may have a blackout due to contract negotiations and whatnot.
If somebody reads the first sentence of the article they would know it is electrical though...

"Blackout" kind of implies "electrical", no?
