this site shows that one of the cables was cut by an abandon anchor...

 but the biggest issue... is that when you cut a cable with an anchor...

you have to drag the anchor for awhile because unless you are using high tech equipment ... your not going to hit the cable on first anchor drop... and using an anchor to stop your ship is possible... but that is still not as easy to do to cut cables...

to cut a cable with a large vessel... you need a very large anchor... and you must be sure were the cable is and which direction it flows and then drag your anchor until it pulls threw the cable... which most anchors will dig in after a few yards... so pulling it will dig the anchor in so much that you have to abandon the acnhor...

hence the abandoned anchor... but

i am not agreeing with any of you as to weither or not it is an attack on the cables or an accident... because there is almost no way to know...
