I realize I'm not very smart, but how did UPS break the bottom of a 1L flip top and yet that delicate little glass is 100%?
Okay here is the reason why the bottle "failed" during shipment. This is where the classes for glass fracture analysis at the American Glass Research institute pays off I guess.
That bottle blew out by pressure failure. Not mishandling. If you look at Nizzle's picture. The piece that is located right below the main part of the bottle, to the left hand side, has a "half moon" shape to it. This is a indicator that the bottle failed at the bottom plate for pressure. This part is the piece that has a faint circle on the bottom of the bottle. It could be possible that this particular ezcap was not manufactured to specs, coupled with a above normal Co2 volumes for a saison, lead to a failure.
That freaking sucks Nizz!! I feel for your loss!
