I hope people read the whole of this blog installment. As you are, I am not wholly convinced it was not an accident. The two explosions some 17 hours apart could easily have been due to “maintenance operations” having been started on both pipe-lines more or less simultaneously. Just stopping the clearing away of hydrate plugs when the first line exploded may nothave been sufficient to save the second one.
Then again, it appeares that every navy (including the Swedish one) has been visiting the sites of explosions quite recently, so who knows.
The Swedish government who actually monitored the explosions, say they were bombs.
You are going to believe some blog by some random guy on the internet rather than the Swedish government who actually monitored these explosions?
