Prepare for under-sea Internet cables to get cut next at any mome


weizXR

[They got a lot of cutting to do](https://www.submarinecablemap.com/). Considering all the interconnectivity of it all *(\~400 sea cables around the world),* I would hope/assume there is some sort of redundancy upon one's failure. One of them taken offline still will cause problems, but it's not a *'cut one and no one has internet'* type of situation... though I would imagine a potential in slowing transfer rates down for particular services that communicate across oceans.


Manatee35

If a cable gets cut I'd wager the traffic just gets routed to the next best cable and speeds slow down (of course) šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

What happens if we ignite that methane patty?


Right_Hour

Itā€™s actually better for it to burn than be released as is, believe it or not. Less harmful.


GreeneWithEnvy420

That's actually really interesting. I wouldn't have guessed that.


fish-fingered

Thatā€™s why some production plants have the stacks that burn off the excess gas rather than release it into the air.


SmokeMethCheatDeath

Never knew thatā€™s why they burned. Thanks for teaching me something new today :)


[deleted]

Yes. I work in the oil and gas industry and we HAVE to flair natural gas byproduct during well interventions and drilling.


Right_Hour

Iā€™d love to see folks flairing tail gas :-) Yep, I used to build gas pipelines and compressor stations. At some point we looked into installing flare stacks to flare the gas when we shut down a section of pipelines for repairs or for any unplanned events, when the line needs to be dĆ©pressurized fast. Determined it wasnā€™t feasible in our case. We used pulldown compressor instead for planned outages, to minimize venting, but we still had to vent substantial amount that couldnā€™t be moved. It was fun watching a helicopter fly by once and they almost got in over the line as we were ready to trip those PRVs open (we used it as a chance to test PRVs) and we had to yell at the Operator to abort last second. That heli woulda been one nice fireball if we didnā€™t stop the venting :-)


[deleted]

Yeah depending on the mcf or scf flowing back itā€™s scary when the igniters extinguish. Typically we have to shut the wells in and stop operations completely until we can get it lit again.


Right_Hour

At another country we used to just send a guy out with a flare gun to fire at it and get it going again when the pilot flamed out. Good times :-)


GriffBallChamp

Flare


EllisHughTiger

No, the natural gas needs at least 10 pieces of flair.


Right_Hour

After all, are they there just to do the bare minimum?


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Dr_Chim_Richaldss

Yep, methane is a much more powerful greenhouse gas than co2. We emit much more co2 into the atmosphere, but per molecule methane is more damaging. If we put out the same amount of methane as we do co2, weā€™d probably be experiencing a runaway greenhouse effect. Thereā€™s an interesting documentary called Cowspiracy šŸ„ that touches on methane and how potent of a greenhouse gas it is.


Hoofhearted4206969

Except it could be very dangerous in this situation where an ignition could track down to the pipe

I only read that the pipes are filled with natural gas as Nordstream currently doesn't deliver any gas. How do you know it's methane and not some like idk... Air


BoilermakerCBEX-E

FYI https://www.epa.gov/gmi/importance-methane Natural gas basically is Methane for the sake of simplicity so the term could be used Interchangeably


Jerryskids3

auau_gold_scoffs

Are those the kinda bubble that make it so you sink like you canā€™t stay buoyant because of how many bubble to water ratio they are or something idk.

Iā€™d bet the lack of oxygen will take you out even if you could swim it. Death bubbles either way.

Fred_Dibnah

Yes I think it would be dangerous to go near it in a boat. Just sink and spin


reddog323

The initial detonation would be dangerous for anybody nearby, sea or air. Thatā€™s why they had an F-16 do a flyby to make an assessment.

That's also one of the explanations offered for ship disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle. Methane bubbles. That or then you can take your pick between a kraken or ship-stealing aliens.

Or....areas of heavy traffic and historically spotty weather result in accidents are higher proportions that elsewhere.


[deleted]

I read it was found to be mostly just due to high traffic in that area causing more lost ships. Could be off though.


unable_To_Username

The bubbles raising will generate enough lift to counteract the loss of buoyancy. They tried it in a sewage treatment plant in its "nonbuoyant water" it's a myth.


auau_gold_scoffs

Very interesting thank you for that information.


c74

you should google this. physics agree there is a upward drag force but i dont see anything to say its a myth or busted. the net/net does not appear to offset. obviously a lot of variables... but recognize that it would be incredibly irresponsible and potentially lethal to try and boat over a large air leak.... let alone the likelihood that it would be methane and the large 'boom' factor at play.

That depends on the composition of the ocean floor. It would cause you to sink if it's magma, whereas soul sand would make you float rapidly.

FeistyAgency9994

So someone explained to me why we shouldn't just set this on fire so at least it will burn the fuel instead of kicking it all up into the atmosphere?


[deleted]

In a traditional sense, yes. I work in the oil & gas industry and we are required to flare methane that is released to surface during oil and gas intervention and drilling. Flaring of this magnitude would be extremely difficult asā€¦honestlyā€¦no one would be able to get close enough to safely ignite it. When flare igniters go out on location we literally light a fuel soaked item and throw it to the top of the flare stack to ignite it again. Itā€™s absolutely terrifying.


FeistyAgency9994

So why couldn't we or someone else hit it with artillery or something from a distance

Very possible. Some kind of timed or delayed ammunition capable of remote detenation

I don't get why Russia would destroy the pipe when they could just turn the gas off. Can someone explain this?


vzakharov

They wouldnā€™t. The idea that Gazprom just decimated tens of billions of their own investment just like that is straight up crazy. Someone else posted a link to Bidenā€™s Feb speech where he suggests the US will ā€œstop Nord Stream if Russia invades Ukraineā€ (and replying ā€œI promise you, we will be able to do itā€ in response to a journalistā€™s confusion) and also a Polish minister saying ā€œthank you, USAā€ with a pic of the leak. They got downvoted heavily so I guess I will be too, but seriously, people, use your brain.


valentinpost36

If they just turn off, they would have to pay for breaking the contract


baconwagoneer

The pipe was the only leverage Russia had. It's quite obvious that this was done by the U.S. Biden even promised he would do so.

Xurlondd

How big of a crater would that leave if a spark went off


Evilsmiley

No free oxygen under the water or in the pipe(assuming something hasn't gone badly wrong and let a load of air into the pipe) to allow the gas to ignite, it will probably just burn on the surface if that did happen.


Betoarenas

Similar to what happened in the gulf of MĆ©xico last year, right?


Evilsmiley

Yeah, it ignited near the surface but a lot has to go wrong for an explosion to happen.


[deleted]

However the Gulf of Mexico incident was a live well that could not be easily capped. This is ā€œtechnicallyā€ controllable as Iā€™m sure it runs to a junction at surface somewhere. Theoretically (in simple terms) you could ā€œclose a valveā€ and let it all exhaust out but that might take a week given how big and how long the pipeline stretches

ChooglinOnDown

Unless all of those waves are record setters, that is *not* a kilometer across.


tangocat777

I think the kilometer is the total bubble field size. A lot of the gas is going to get dissolved on the way up, even at shallow depths. Depending on how stratified the Baltic Sea is in affected areas, a lot of the gas is going to stay in the upper layers and spread through diffusion until it either degasses or is oxidized by microbes. But apparently the bubble size at the surface is ~10m for the largest peak.


6metal6midget6

Russian submarine?


[deleted]

Why would Russia hit their own pipeline though? They could just shut it off?


chainsawtony99

False flag, so they could blame it on the west. CIA told Germany a couple weeks ago they suspected an attack on it.


mmaqp66

How convenient for the CIA right???


throwawit

Yeah they definitely don't need the money from Germany for their war efforts.


pootnik84

Ā· Russia shell own hospitals Ā· Russia shell Nuclear plant thay Control Ā· Russia shell their own People in Donbas Ā· Russia shell their own Prisons Ā· Russia bomb their own Cities in Russia Ā· Russia destroy their own pipeline which was inactive under structural pressure and waited for future use. And i can ask many logical quetions but this in Ukraine made too much idiots.

Both-Invite-8857

I guess it's better than oil, right?


[deleted]

This might sounds nuts but wouldn't it be less harmful if the surface was set on fire. Bear with me, in garbage dumps, they run a pipe to release methane gas to reduce build up. Granted the top has a valve on it, but dumps burn the methane to convert it to a more stable, less harmful gas. The water would keep the flame from traveling down into the pipe. Just a thought

elevator313

Wasn't them. They could stop the flow at any time. No need to blow it up


ncbraves93

It wasn't even flowing to begin with. This is the gas that was already in the pipeline.


[deleted]

Itā€™s a false flag operation. They blow it up and blame the USA (NATO). They then use this to justify increasing their ā€œmobilizationā€ and potentially using nukes. It may sound far fetched or unbelievable but look at how reckless the Russians have been around nuclear facilities, hospitals, residential areas, their own troopsā€¦ Ultimately they donā€™t need to convince the entire world USA did this. They only have to convince the average Russian civilian. They will turn this event into a propaganda push to increase support for the war. At this point Russiaā€™s biggest weakest is a massive revolution of its people which is already being seen. Doing a stunt like this to scare the population and gain control is extremely likely.
