Nah... that's too simple of an explanation.

<Quote from the driver, on the stand in a court room>
Well, you know about how generators and motors work, right judge?
There's
this principle that shows that moving a wire through a magnetic field
generates an electrical current, right?  That's how generators work,
after
all.  Well, the converse also holds true: moving a wire through an
electric
field generates a magnetic field.

Well, when I was driving the van, as I drove under the power lines, the
movement of the metallic mast through the power lines' electric field
generated a magnetic field so strong that it just literally magnetically

attracted the mast right up out of the van and into the power line.
When I
realized what was happening I tried to stop, but the closer I got to the

power line, the stronger the magnetic effect was, and it just
accelerated the
mast right into the power line.

It's amazing that the whole van didn't get pulled up into the power
lines...

In fact, I think I'd like to sue the manufacturer of that electricity
because
they should know about those dangerous magnetic currents around power
lines!!!

Gosh, if it's not the leukemia you get from power lines, those magnetic
fields
can be fatal!
