A section measuring at least 50 metres (164 feet) is missing from the ruptured Nord Stream 1 gas pipeline in the Baltic Sea, Swedish daily Expressen reported on Tuesday (October 18) after filming what it said were the first publicly released images of the damage.
Swedish police and prosecutors suspect the leaks that emerged on Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 on September 26 were caused by deliberate subsea blasts, and are investigating the case as an act of gross sabotage.
Expressen’s video, captured with a small remotely operated underwater vehicle, or subsea drone, showed bent metal and a wide-open pipeline in murky waters at the bottom of the Baltic Sea.
Expressen said the video was filmed on Monday (October 17) and recorded at a depth of roughly 80 metres (262 feet).
Reuters could not independently verify that the images published by the newspaper were of Nord Stream 1.
Sweden’s security services said this month they had seized material on site after concluding their investigation.
It was not clear how the Swedish authorities’ crime scene investigation could have altered the area, according to Expressen.
The Swedish navy and the security police declined to comment.
The country’s coast guard was not immediately available for comment.
Copenhagen police, investigating separate ruptures to the two pipelines, on Tuesday said the holes identified on the Danish side of the Baltic Sea maritime border appeared to have been caused by “powerful explosions.”

75m deep ? Any Tec diver can reach that depth, and why is the pipe glowing red ?
Too The LAST Dead UKRAINIAN and a FROZEN EuroTrash Nation States UNITED We STAND
putins work
Need to lay some pipe
'video shows 50 metre…' again such clickbait, i mean it probably is 50 metre but the vid doesnt 'show' that. I am done with the sun lol, just to get more views from people hoping to see more of what we have already seen from other channels, but turns out to be clickbaited content, again.
You guys always show the same video twice.
So let me get this straight.
Some guy in a fishing boat puts a cam in the water, like he's going fishing on a Saturday afternoon.
I see a crack in the ground, and a pipe that has coral growing on it.
Wouldn't the blast take care of that?
lies.
irreparable…Gone for ever!!
Probably not the nordstream pipeline
Yep! a Megalodon.
its putin work or biden. Could also be poland. They aleady open new gas pipeline so it benefit them
Who is Nordström?
Damn it, Sun. If I want to watch everything two or three times, I would click replay.
I can’t imagine that the diameter of the Nordstream pipe is this small

Alright, i admit it, it was me. I thought it was cool to blow up pipelines. I see now the errors of my way.
If a simple fishing vessle is able to put a camera down there then a simple fishing vessle can also lower a bomb + camera and destroy the pipeline.
Special dolphin operation
Poor countries : USA, we don't have food and home please help us
USA : sorry buddy you are not supporting us..
Ukraine : USA, send us trillions to stop aggressor, a threat to west
USA : we sent already trillions, do you want more? Will send you soon buddy..
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
perpetrator is the United States
This is proof ?
😂
It looks more like the whole section has been removed, and we know that Russia was the first on the spot.
What we see here is the junction between 2 pipe sections, not the spot where the explosion happened, so it's tough to conclude anything from the video. The metal parts that look torn outward are probably part of some ring between the 2 sections that are supposed to be welded together, so they could just as easily have been torn off from an explosion happening outside the pipeline. Where and in which state is the section that exploded, why did this submarine explored mostly irrelevant locations for this critical question? Has the missing section been blown apart by the explosion, has it been removed by Russia or some other government? Where is the Kraken?
Where did 50 metres come from? Sure didn't see anything 50 metres in that video….and if this is the Nordstream pipe, why does it look like :1- there is still grass and debris on top of the pipe, which surely would've been blown off by an explosion of that magnitude….2- it looks like the pipe on this video was blown outwards from inside , because of the metal piece still attached on the right side…..3- shouldn't there be a crater in the sea floor if it blew out a 50 metre section of Steel pipe that thick? I don't usually comment but had to state the obvious here
Looks like the pipe was blown outwards like it exploded from inside the pipe Russia did it for sure
Someone needs to check Putin's rear end for the missing pipe, if you watch Putin in videos he cannot walk or stand up straight.
Yup…😎
I'm definitely starting to think it was America lol
Kiev will burn everyday for supporting terrorists
Why pipe is blow outwards? Sabotage from outside should blow inwards
Biggest criminal USA।
ruSSia did well with their sabotage.
All we need to do now is to find someone with 50 meters of pipe in their pockets.
WW2 mines probably did this, search it ! 80,000 actives ines in the Baltic
We stand with Ukrainians not zelensky। Russia is right to protect itself from NATO।
US Navy has done a good job to support American gas companies😎
I did it ,,,, sorry !
Definitely Sharknada: The return ……
