ettore: An interesting contribution by Al Jazeera

Could a bomb in a soda can really bring down a plane?
From the article:
"Inside the can itself - if filled to full capacity - there are probably 200 to 300 grammes of high explosives. So certainly it’s a viable device," Chris Hunter, an explosives expert, said.
That comment surprises me from an explosive expert, because if the can is 330ml then there was probably around 400g of explosives and possibly more.
