The breaking strain of that earth wire is obviously more than the top of the tower, which looks to have crippled and curled right over.
The earth wire appears to have been dragged near, or, into contact with the top phase conductor, so the circuit would (should !) have tripped immediately. The sequence of events after that depends on the type of protection equipment at source.
