Wait a damn minute.
Take a Boeing 747 weighing 800,000 pounds, carrying 53,000 gallons of fuel, taking off, and blow one of these babies into the cockpit, or fuel tank, or wing root, or vertical stabilizer and I guarantee your very own big bang.
Same plane cruising at 30,000 feet you'd be damn lucky to bring it down but to make a blanket statement that it won't bring down a big plane just isn't true.
There is a million different scenarios and many of them are grim.
