You don't normally notice it happening because the Wights that blow it up only come to do so after you are far enough away that you can't get back there in time. But you can listen to and sort of see (shrapnel and debris at least) them blow it up if you move your units away but keep the camera there, and if you move your units back they'll see the knot destroyed.

: If the knots DID connect to multiple locations, then the

Except that the Covenant knot was destroyed.
