If it was just one of the pipelines the question would have merit.
The odds of two pipelines spontaneously failing within minutes of each other yet kilometers apart seems slim.
Do the Russians control the valves for both? I read somewhere from an engineer that it could have been a maintenance mistake.
I would like to read that take, do you have the source?
Found it!

Given such an incredibly low probability of accidental failure, the burden of proof is shifted to the more extraordinary claim. So a better question would be, what's the proof that it wasn't sabotage?
How about the third possibility? Accident / Incompetence?

While probably true, it is nearly impossible to prove a negative....
i.e.: Give me a proof that God doesn't exist
