I’m personally satisfied at this point that it wasn’t sabotage, but incompetence.
One theory put out there was that the two explosions were because the contents of the pipeline froze underwater (which is a thing, especially when product isn’t moving through the pipeline like in Nordstream2) and instead of being super careful and patient in clearing the clog, the Russian technicians tried to hurry up and clear the first blockage... then a different team doubled down on stupid and hurried up a second time with the other pipeline, blowing the second line in much the same way.
It could be sabotage, or self sabotage, or a false flag, but given available information, we are really limited in how much we could know. Deliberate sabotage can also look a lot like incompetence. The long and proud tradition of Russian catastrophic industrial and energy sector accidents along with the 17 hours between explosions are what is leading my to this conclusion, which as a random anonymous poster on a political forum who holds no government position thst would matter in the least, is worth just about nothing.
Yeah....and the center fuel tank exploded TWA 800.
How exactly is natural gas supposed to freeze under the ocean? The point at which Natural Gas turns to liquid is around -260F. The LNG would have to get MUCH, MUCH colder to turn to a solid, or have a vacuum pulled on it to raise the freezing point. No way on earth it had a vacuum pulled on it.
Considering the ocean floor above 32 degrees, I am not sure how it would be physically possible for the gas to freeze. I would say the possibility of that theory is 0.00%
