Have you ever encounter being stuck in a traffic jam for prolonged period and thereafter, the aircon fails?

I was stuck in a terrible traffic jam (for close to 2 hours) a couple of days back. During the jam, the temperature climbed high steadily till the start of the red zone. Almost immediately after I got out of the jam, one of the two cooling fan (right side) at where the radiator is stopped working, and the aircon goes cranky - cold for a very quick while (maybe 1 minute) then becomes not cold for very long, then becomes cold for a short while, then not cold etc...

Now, even the other fan (left side) has stopped working...doesn't turn on its own (though i've tried moving it by hand and it's stiff). Could the above symptoms point to electrical problem, or something else (more serious)? Any idea???

We have no idea b/c we don't know what m/y car we are talking about. Pls take a few moments and read the admin new poster thread, many suggestions in there of use. Do you have flaps? Different cars, different sensors.
