TV station news vans also have to be careful of overhead powerlines. They usually have tall extendable masts with microwave antennas atop them. And occasionally the operators will forget to look out for the power wires and extend the mast and antenna and touch 7.2kv and not notice a problem until someone steps out of the van... Rubber tires are a pretty good insulator. College interns (essentially free labor) often are not aware or ignore such things in the rush to get a news event on the air.
