This sentence kind of implies that foreign actors committed the attack, but a leftist group took credit for it[1].

Last time I knew of an attack like this in Berlin, it was a direct retaliation after the government attacked their house with military tanks.
The government dropping a water tank on your house certainly would be concerning.
Which is a good thing. Few people deserve that long in prison.
If you want to switch to talking about how to prevent similar events from occurring, surely you can imagine types of actors that even the possibility of 20 year prison sentences would not dissuade.
Actually no. Engaging with snarky drivel is the wrong way to go about this. Downvote, flag for snark, and move on.
Some substations don't have redundant feeder power either, although that's more often the case where geography makes it difficult (islands/peninsulas)... But the mention of wiring on a bridge might be an indication that is a geographically difficult area of Berlin?
