Thanks for the drawing of that oxygen bottle.

I understand that the bottle is located within the MEC. So even if a potential failure of the bottle or its connection is not catastrophic, a scenario in which a pure oxygen atmosphere in the MEC bay is created seems possible? Apollo 1 comes to mind.

On the other hand it is hard to imagine the A/C continued on autopilot with the MEC destroyed by fire.

A report of a previous fire in the MEC of a 772 probably linked here before :
