It will be interesting to know if its on the supply side or the

A recent episode of CSI Miami (made long before the Newbury horse
deaths) used an under beach cable to knock off (as in electrocute) a
mens volley ball team. One wonders where they got the idea from. Or
did reality copy fiction in this case.


There have been many instances where a lightning strike on a playing
field has disabled players, sometimes just stunning them, sometimes
killing them outright. They tend to take lightning storms a bit more
seriously then what we do, they seem to have stronger ones there and
more of them;!.

Hence there are several websites on that very matter in the USA...
