We were told last week several explosions destroyed these pipes, whose purpose is
to carry gas from Russia to Germany. The Nord Stream 2 pipe was not running yet
due to the sanctions theater, but according to the Russians filled up with gas for
technical reasons under pressure of about 105 bar.
Now, what i wondered about first was, if such a pipe receives a leakage, the pressure
escapes right away in a jiffy and not within five days. Still images of bubbling water
were shown 5 days later. To underline that view, at September, 26 a leak has been
detected at Nord Stream 2, leading to a pressure dip from 105 bar to just 7. The pipes
are located down to 90 meters below sea level and there a pressure about 10 bar is
prevailing. With that difference the gas could hardly escape with that force to the
surface. You could furthermore ask, whether no bulkheads were installed ...
Meanwhile the Swedes reported 4 leaks in total due to explosions and while most
point to the Yankees as culprits with a fleet cruising in the Baltic Sea i suspect
just another scam with some sort of underwater gear to generate the bubbles.
