The incident was reported to the bureau, which investigated and concluded a water bottle was to blame.

Where on the ATSB website is the report of this investigation? I can't see anything there to substantiate this story and my limited knowledge of optics suggests that the dimesnions of a bottle of water renders it incapable of focussing the sun's rays akin to the convex lens in a magnifying glass. I suppose a near empty bottle with a concave base could plausibly approximate such a lens but I'd like to see any report that reached such a conclusion.
