Danes: Nord Stream 2 pipeline seems to have stopped leaking

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — The Danish Energy Agency says one of two ruptured natural gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea appears to have stopped leaking natural gas.

The agency said on Twitter on Saturday that it had been informed by the company operating the Nord Stream 2 pipeline that pressure appears to have stabilized in the pipeline, which runs from Russia to Germany.

“This indicates that the leaking of gas in this pipeline has ceased,” the Danish Energy Agency said.

Undersea blasts that damaged the Nord Stream I and 2 pipelines this week have led to huge methane leaks. Nordic investigators said the blasts have involved several hundred pounds of explosives.

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday accused the West of sabotaging the Russia-built pipelines, a charge vehemently denied by the United States and its allies…

… In Washington, U.S. President Joe Biden dismissed Putin’s pipeline claims as outlandish.

“It was a deliberate act of sabotage. And now the Russians are pumping out disinformation and lies. We will work with our allies to get to the bottom (of) precisely what happened,” Biden promised. “Just don’t listen to what Putin’s saying. What he’s saying we know is not true.”…

… The U.S. has long opposed to the two pipelines and had repeatedly urged Germany to halt them, saying they increased Europe’s energy dependence on Russia and decreased its security. Since the war in Ukraine began in February, Russia has cut back supplies of natural gas sent to Europe to heat homes, generate electricity and run factories. European leaders have accused Putin of using “energy blackmail” to divide them in their strong support for Ukraine.

The attacks on the pipelines have prompted energy companies and European governments to beef up security around energy infrastructure...

Now the divers can go down.

I hope that the Swedes and Danes (who are doing the investigation of these CRIMES) do every thing possible forensically to find all available evidence. This would include gathering every bit of concrete/metal exploded from the pipelines and every bit of material that could have come from the bombs or the means of delivering the bomb. They can be examined forensically in detail on the surface. You’d be amazed at what can be determined by scientific examination of bomb residue and bomb fragments. Just as DNA can lead back to individuals, so scientific examination of material evidence at a bombing site can lead back to the likely state perpetrator(s).

I really want the perpetrators to be identified with appropriate consequences to follow.

Also, I actually HAVE NOT HEARD BIDEN AFFIRMATIVELY DENY ALL U.S. INVOLVEMENT in this crime. He says WEASEL WORDS such as we’ll get to the bottom of this sabotage and Russia’s making ridiculous statements.

I also HAVE NOT HEARD A REPORTER ASK BIDEN “DID THE U.S. HAVE ANY INVOLVEMENT IN THIS CRIME?”.

LISTEN CAREFULLY to what they say.

Lastly, I hope the Swedes and Danes protect the crime scenes well. That includes keeping potential perpetrators (e.g., Russia, United States, Poland) far from those crime scenes and the gathered evidence.

The leak did not stop by itself, the Russians must have closed the valve.

#3: "The leak did not stop by itself, the Russians must have closed the valve."

True that! Common sense has been lacking from the mainstream media for quite some time.

“ The leak did not stop by itself, the Russians must have closed the valve.”
*********************************************************************

The valves were already closed on both the Russian and the German ends. The “air pressure” within the tubes finally equalized with the water pressure at depth after a sufficient amount of gas escaped. At that point water pressure prevented further release of gas.

But whose divers?

NATO divers means the conclusion is already written: RUSSIA DID IT!

NATO country divers will be the FBI investigating what went wrong at Waco.

No. The valves were already closed, but the pipe had thousands of cubic yards of gas in it at 3600 PSI. Takes a while for that to bleed down.

Now it will begin filling with salt water, probably rendering it permanently unsafe for high pressure gas, ever again.

Of course, the Russians closed the valve from their end. No need of pumping further quantities of compressed natural gas just to bubble it out through sea water, trying maybe to form Methane Hydrates on the ocean floor. Besides, the pipeline itself must be just about full of sea water, and it would be a major engineering problem ever to make it operational again. Easier to simply abandon the existing construction and lay down new lines.

Which will never happen.

Russia shut off the valve long before the explosions.

Ukraine stood to lose the transmission fees on the line through it, but if no Russian gas is going through either the Nord Steam or the Ukrainian lines, no additional loss.

Means and motive.

This is an operational Russian sabotage submarine, not some unarmed Western ISR drone.

There’s was/is gas still flowing...through Nord I the Uke lines.

This causes me to wonder if we’ll see a false flag cutting of our transatlantic fiber optic cables to disrupt banking transactions.

The pipeline was pressurized along its entire length— however it was shut off from the source. So it has leaked out all that was there in the pipeline. Simple enough.

The Germans should be plenty pissed off in any case, and this methodology leans to the idiots in JoeBama land super spy morons.
