I am also reminded that we still don't have a reason for the very large hole in the fuselage, without lesser shrapnel damage holes visible.
The valve assembly going up and the bottle ejecting down are one plausible explanation for some of the damage signature, but the bottle is mounted vertically between two frames; a section of each of these frames has departed the airframe, what is the failure mode for that to happen?
