You'd think with transmission lines, it would have blown long time ago, but those look like around 33KV lines. That branch is shorting from phase to the high wire, which is grounded. Nevertheless, it a good catch.
@ugod519 Considering the video quality says it was recorded with a potato, I had to take another look. It does look like some shorter poles in the background. Probably is arcing from a Y distribution to a delta transmission. That would make for an interesting out-of-phase inductive kick-back if they were related to the same sub-station.

@TheRantingCabbie fairly sure the sticks on the distribution line build next to the transmission line? weird angle lol

by "fell" he meant "jumped" on to the line

I think someone threw it up there. It also is an arc, not an explosion.
