Luckily, there is another place you can post the video. It's called youtube.com. A seized fan clutch would burn through the drive belt and that would quickly cause a whole host of things to stop working. Things such as the alternator and water pump.

Umm ... Fan clutch? No. What happens is the fan is run 100% all the time when the fan clutch seizes.
Or the fan blade comes off if it comes apart.
But no, it won't burn through the drive belt.
You're thinking of an idler, tensioner, or some other driven item off the belt (smog pump, power steering pump, whatever.)
That's the water pump. It's probably bad. Take the belt off and see if you have any play in the cooling fan. If it wobbles at all, time for a new water pump.
