Why does the bombs have to go off immediately when the plane drops the signalling device? If you got through setting all this up, I am sure you can also figure out how to delay the explosion so there would be no obvious connection to a plane flying over.
- mc32 4y agoMaybe to ensure a "bysailing" ship isn't accidentally damaged? Presumably a plan could detect a ship if it was near target and do a go around?
- oh_sigh 4y agoThe pipeline is 80m underwater - a ship could be sailing right over and not even realize an explosion happened under it.
- Laaas 4y agoWhat about the methane? How would it interact with the ship if it was directly atop the leak?
- usrusr 4y agoSure: when a large amount of gas is released to bubble up, the average density of the gas/water mix can be too low for the maximum displacement of a ship passing above to carry it's weight. Ship drops beneath the surface until it hits pure water or a mix close enough, and most ships aren't built to recover from that.
