Fees are so low that 2 wrongly made transactions by someone swamped all regular fees. I think it was 2 transactions with fees of ~42BTC and ~171BTC.

When a miner solves a block, they get 50 BTC.
In addition, they get fees paid by those whose transactions are in the block.
When i send someone money, I may include a fee so that my transaction is added to a block sooner rather than later.

Miner are paid by subsidies (block reward) & fee.
Currently fees are so low that subsidies (50 BTC per block currently) represents 99.9% of miner's income.
As block subsidy declines fees will need to represent a larger portion of miner's revenue.

So when I move bitcoins around I can pay a fee to speed up the transaction but don't have to. This fee then goes along with the 50BTC to the miner that helped me with the transaction by mining.
So that spike could indicate that somone needed a presumably very large transaction that a large fee would only be a small percent of to go though very quickly. Perhaps part of tranding.
It could ofc be a mistake, a somewhat expensive one.

It is definitely a mistake, the transaction was not very large and even a small fee nearly guarantees entry into the next block right now.

It's a mistake, there were some threads about these fees and the unlucky person that paid them

Some pools don't pick up no-fee transactions though, so it can take a while. I just pay a fee...I've got a nickel on bitcoin's success any day.
