Sabotage suspected in unprecedented damage to Russias 2 Nord Stream gas pipelines to Germany

Beskrivelse

A couple of theories have been put forth about the gas leakages found on the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines located near the Danish island of Bornholm in the Baltic Sea. Every theory suspects clear acts of sabotage either by Russia or Ukraine. Suspicions aside, the severity of the matter is however high if marine vessels should lose buoyancy and enter into the area of the leaked methane gas. According to Simon Pedersen, an associate professor at Aalborg University, there is an added risk of the gas igniting and exploding in the air over the water, which is highly poisonous.
