Can a car DYNO wipe an SD card?

Had my car dynotuned today and while it was on the dyno I took a video of it with my phone near the wheels. When I got home to my surprise my SD card in my phone, where all my photos are saved to, is wiped clean, from .5 GB free to 1.85 GB free. Tracking back my movements all I can think of is that kneeling down next to the rollers on the dyno, which most probably have a huge magnetic field around them, may have been enough to sterilise my SD card.
Thoughts anyone?

Movement through a magnetic field will wipe credit and bank cards with a magnetic strip.

SD cards operate on a different principle. They are immune to magnetic fields. Unless it was as powerful as something like an MRI device.

Water proof:
SanDisk SD, SDHC, microSD and microSDHC memory cards are tested to withstand up to 72 hours in 1m salt or fresh water; IEC 529 IPX7. Product must be clean and dry before use.

Temperature proof:
SanDisk SD, SDHC, microSD and microSDHC memory cards are capable of withstanding operating temperatures from -13ºF to 185ºF (-25ºC to 85 ºC).

Shock and vibration proof:
SanDisk SD, SDHC, microSD and microSDHC memory cards are capable of withstanding up to 500Gs of shock.

Impact proof:
SanDisk SD, SDHC, microSD and microSDHC memory cards are able to withstand drops up to 5 meters (16.4 feet) and being run over by a 5 ton delivery truck.

X-ray proof:
SanDisk SD, SDHC, and Micro SD memory cards are immune to airport X-rays.

You weren't run over by a delivery truck were you?
