Apparently it started with a short in a transformer, after that multiple safety systems failed to cut the power.

It would be really scary if your house was under those lines and you saw them drooping nearer and nearer to your house.

The text accompanying the video states that a highway (A6) was closed off to allow inspection of the high tension wires. Also all train traffic between the cities Lelystad and Dronten was canceled.

It mentions something about a cable breaking being the cause of it all. I do wonder why the cables started to sag? Just expansion due to heat being generated in them or that they got weakened by the heat and that they need replacement.
