I don’t know who (or what) may have caused this, of course I have suspicions. But the fact that it took place around a new moon indicates favorable conditions for surface vessels less likely to be spotted by other surface vessels or distant subs with periscopes. Just sayin ...

Also these two explosions (if that’s the accurate term) that took place (two on the main pipeline, one later on another offshoot) occurred about 18 hours apart, plenty of time for a trained crew to get from point A to B and repeat the operation.

It all took place not that far from Bornholm, a Danish island in the south central Baltic.

I have heard or read three or four plausible scenarios and am not trying to fit this to any narrative. There is also the outside chance that this occurred due to faulty engineering of some kind. I wondered if the fact that the pipelines are full of natural gas but due to the German policies not being drained out at the delivery end of the pipeline might place some kind of strain on the system and when one pipeline blew, then after a while another one came under stress and blew. This is not my leading theory by any means but something to ponder. My understanding is that the Russians filled the system with natural gas (liquefied I think) so it would be operational at any point if the diplomatic situation changed. What happens in such an operation when nothing is moving for months?
