Not that it makes much difference now but the belts should have been a pair manufactured within a short time of each other so can the other belt be checked date wise. Secondly the tension on both belts should have been close to each other so remeasure the other for your own peace of mind. The very fact that the bike was ridden like that for another 5 miles is beyond belief but it has disguised what happened to the belts as they have been completely shredded beyond recognition. We still have this discussion at work about the apps versus other methods but what I'm told in all fairness is that no bike leaving here has had a belt snapped. The pensioners you say all spinning free. These I trust are not flange pulleys . I wonder if one ie the horizontal went off kilt and started shredding that way. Is the belt cover scored at all.
Keep the faith and investigate slowly and dont punish yourself about it.
