- ComodoHacker 4y agoDoes it mean there was an explosion?
- tokai 4y agoThe pressure in the pipes went from +100 bar to 7 bar. Depending on your definitions you could call that an explosion i guess.
- ComodoHacker 4y agoTurns out yes, there were explosions: https://www.svt.se/nyheter/inrikes/svt-avslojar-tva-explosioner-intill-nord-stream https://www.svt.se/nyheter/inrikes/svt-avslojar-tva-explosio...
- londons_explore 4y agoThe pipes are typically ~1000 psi. That multiplied by the entire inner volume of a rather long pipe could totally make rather a bang...
- funnym0nk3y 4y agoWhich convinietly covers up any explosion signs...
- londons_explore 4y agoI think it would be hard to destroy an undersea pipe in a way that looked 'natural'. The broken ends will be cut out and brought ashore for failure analysis, and they'll soon find out if your explosives bent the pipe inwards first... I think your best bet would be to deliberately snag an anchor around it, and then say 'whoops'.
- IAmGraydon 4y agoInterestingly, that site is the only one I can find that records that seismic event. All of the others (which mainly use USGS data) do not show it.
