It was purified version of household chemicals that would be set off by electrical charge. It was not military grade explosives. A relatively small explosion in a compressed internal air pressure environment is greatly enhanced when it meets a low pressure environment. All it had to do was pierce the skin of the plane and a large section of plane would get blown away. I'm sure they are going to test to see what they tried to do would even down a plane.

Petrol? Naphtha? Probably not very explosive on their own, but it proves some liquids CAN be explosive.
