> the 17 hour gap just doesn't feel right for an intentional attack Why? 17 hours is enough time to figure out what happened, but not enough time to prevent it from happening again.

And keep in mind, the bombs might have been planted months ago. 17 hours isn't enough time to inspect the whole pipe for more bombs.
