Nord Stream 2, however, was sanctioned by the United States, and the pipelaying was completed solely by Russian ships. The pipeline was completed last year but never launched: Germany put an end to the project in February, two days before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Anyway, so far the theories spun in these threads were (in no particular order):
* Explosive charges placed outside of the pipeline (in the water)
* Explosive charges placed inside of the pipeline (via a [pig robot](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigging))
* Ships dragging their anchor on the seafloor
* [Methane hydrates inside the pipe accelerated to great speeds after one of the ends was depressurized for “maintenance” ](https://thelawdogfiles.com/2022/09/nordstream.html)
* [Aliens](https://i.imgur.com/1DRjyrd.jpg)
Anyone remember anything else?
Why does it look like it was cut off?
