the core dev team for BTC already said they are prepared to either emergency adjust difficulty or change the hashing algo if a disaster happens with the miners .. yes this is technically a hard fork of the block chain but it has happened before in an emergency

Well the core dev team already classifies the miners as attacking the network when they don't vote for them and chooses another fork. I would take what they say with a huge grain of salt.
