BERLIN – A seismograph on the Danish island of Bornholm twice recorded spikes representing earth tremors on Monday, the day on which the Nord Stream 1 and a pair of fuel pipelines underwent dramatic falls in stress, German geological analysis centre GFZ mentioned.
The seismograph recorded near-silence till 0003 GMT (2am native time) when there was a spike representing a tremor within the earth adopted by a steady hissing waveform. The sample repeated itself at 1700.
European politicians and safety consultants have urged that the pipeline rupture close to Bornholm may have been brought on by sabotage. GFZ declined to be drawn on whether or not the tremors recorded may have been the results of an explosion.
“There was a spike after which common noise,” mentioned GFZ spokesperson Josef Zens. “We can not say if that may very well be fuel streaming out.”
Nord Stream 2 was first reported to have depressurised on Monday afternoon. The depressurisation within the Nord Stream 1 pipeline was reported within the early night, shortly after the second of the 2 spikes.
