quote:You can buy commercial drone cameras that list at $2500 that can reach 300 feet. Seems like you can buy a $20,000 drone that could carry some payload and drop it on the pipeline within an hour. I don't think anyone would notice it and it could be any type of personal / commercial boat.
the area in the damaged pipeline is about 240 feet deep. Recreational divers can go about 110 foot deep with one tank and no decompression. Two tanks, air additives , and staged decompression allow sufficient time for attaching a demolition charge for recreational divers
this is not a hi tech event.
At that low tech, could we rule out private companies, like a competing LNG provider or someone shorting Gazprom?

Speaking of low tech it’s always baffled me how vulnerable our own infrastructure can be. Several of the largest pipelines in the country run through my part of the world and they might have three strand barb wire or a cyclone fence to keep people away from valves. The largest natural gas pipeline runs right through my deer camp and it is exposed in a washout about 300 yards from my favorite stand.
