That has 0 correlation with Northstream.
Op didn’t say they were connected. They were referring to two distinct but impactful events.
The phrasing implies a connection.

I was in a major car accident, I cannot walk.

Oh the car accident was years ago, I was fine. I cannot walk because I'm seatbelted into a car driving down the road at the moment. Why would you have ever thought there was a connection?

Two examples of vulnerable infrastructure.

But afaik both are related to the same conflict.

The current hypothesis is that a left wing group triggered the outage in “protest” against Germanys involvement in the war.
