Unplug the computer , literally from the plug on the wall. The computer will treat it like a power failure.
Yes, by crashing the hard disk heads.

That is an excellent way to destroy a hard disk, giving it no time to park the disk heads.

Always use the power button when you have to force the OS to shutdown. Never pull the plug.
