pacplyer: I pretty much agree with you, but I think you still missed the point. That exploded car still shows how much damage one of those bottles can do -- it still takes a large force to blow a car apart like that even though they're not designed to be pressurised and have quite a different structure design compared to an airliner. And Boeings aren't built like tanks, as tanks are designed to withstand external compression, like a car
