Looking at Lomapaseo's enhanced photos, I am led to suspect that:
  1. the initial rupture was lower down and abrupt -- that piece seems to be missing
  2. sucked baggage plugged the initial hole
  3. the upper breach is weakened structure that peeled away in a less abrupt fashion to let the air out.
