Because the theory is straw-clutching to discredit Hersh. These kind of pipelines have extremely rigorous testing regimes. The probability that a weld defect caused failure in a non-operational pipeline is tiny.
- orwin 4y agoOne of my dad's close friends when he was a companion (compagnons du devoir, idk if it exists in the US) worked on submarine welds. He would agree with you (he just retired because army have early pension) A second welded for EDF on thermic generators, including nuclear. He would have agreed with you, even when he was detached to China. Until 2010. Now he rants about quality control not doing their jobs, 28 years old managers who never welded once in their life who can't bother showing up on the site, and the resp ignoring his warnings for years. I'd say the probability is at least small, definitely not tiny.
