It's apparently not hard, the US did it to the USSR in the 70s that resulted in one of the largest non nuclear explosions in the history of mankind.

- kingosticks 8y agoAre you referring to the trans-siberian pipeline explosion in 1982? The claim is that it was caused by the CIA sabotaging the software used for controlling pipeline pressure. If this is true (seems to be partly rumour/leaks) then that's the work of a nation state, so I'm not convinced it qualifies as "not hard". https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/1455559/CIA-plot-led-to-huge-blast-in-Siberian-gas-pipeline.html https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/...
