Here's how the Nord Stream incident was reported on
www.theguardian.com
Over 1000lbs of explosives placed at 250-300ft depths in one of the most heavily monitored maritime regions on the planet. When the sabotage happened it was widely recognised that only a large and well resourced state actor could have carried it out. Oh and then there's the fact that the pipes were partially buried in tons of silt

How was this stuff removed to place the explosives? I'm no expert but I imagine more than a scuba diver with a shovel
So in summary the new narrative is that:
- NS attacks were carried out by a Ukrainian terrorist group.
- We don't know anything about them except a detailed description of how they carried out the attack.
- A few guys in a sail boat with 2 scuba divers unburied 4 giant pipes and placed hundred of pounds of explosives
- No one noticed and they made a successful getaway
Right...

Size of Nord Stream blasts equal to large amount of explosive, UN told
Experts suggest maintenance robots may have planted bombs, as concern grows over methane buildup
It remains a mystery as to how the explosives reached the pipeline. According to initial reports, the explosions happened at depths of between 70 and 90 metres.
There has been speculation that mini submarines might have been used to deliver the explosives. However, the amount of explosives that would have been necessary to cause such large blasts make this theory increasingly unlikely.
Instead, experts are suggesting that maintenance robots operating within the pipeline structure may have planted the bombs during repair works.
If this theory proves to be right, the sophisticated nature of the attack as well as the power of the blast would add weight to suspicions that the attacks were carried out by a state power, with fingers pointed at Russia. Moscow has repeatedly underlined its capability to disrupt Europe’s energy infrastructure.
