it may have happened low enough below cruise to protect the plastic, allowing it to contain 8k air, capped, and crinkled at SL.
The bottles don't look like they've spent months at sea, possibly from the plane. Could be a sign the breakup occurred at a lower altitude, down to and including SL, which would rule out rupture of the pressure vessel causing the breakup.
