I have picked up carbon fibre composite pieces of booster on Bequia before, probably from the ESA Guyana launch site.

Assuming that the explosion was right above Turks & Caicos. Given the curve of earth, to be visible in SXM it would have be at least 816 km high. Hence it was impossible to see it from SXM.
