"one of the most heinous acts of this century" was blowing up a gas pipeline that was delivering very little gas because of "extended maintenance" on the Russian side? The company operating NordStream 2 went bankrupt 6 months before it was destroyed.
I would love to live in a world where that was close to one of the most heinous acts that year, let alone century. The release of natural gas into the environment was very bad but the impact on humans was essentially zero.
Edit: Wikipedia has a helpful graph showing NordStream gas flows. You can see that in the month before the sabotage it was already pretty much zero
