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

Gyro:
That's a really impressive sag on those lines!  :o

Squarewave:

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

pcprogrammer:
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.
