Why do they put a gas pipeline where it would be damaged by an anchor drag of a ship in an emergency ?..>>> Usually the pipeline planning takes place long before a ship has an emergency. Take a look at a nautical chart and the coast pilot book for the area. check out spoil areas, pipelines overhead wires, and check out unexploded ordinance.
Probably because it was the cheapest place to put it.
Let the chips fall where they may later on...like now.
