As the saying goes, "shit happens".
System crashes are not uncommon, and in this case, it seems a domino effect came into play.
One failure pushed the load onto others, which then failed under the extra load, and so on - its not as rare as you may think.
I've seen entire telephone exchanges fail because one thing failed, which led to another overloading and failing, and bang, it all falls over.
