Nord Stream 2 Pipeline Leaks - My 2 Cents

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.
