Loss of pressure -definitely. But will it destroy the plane?

Would it matter if the plane was destroyed vs. just getting a hole knocked in it? The effect on transportation would be the same.

And yes, I think a block of C4 that size, detonated over the center fuel tank, would be curtains for the plane.

New Modern jumbos fly wet-wing.
That is, the wings are the fuel tanks.

Well, it's otherwise unused space, innit?

New None at all will do just fine.
Look at how much damage the shoe bomber did to the air travel system. Far more infrastructure damage than just blowing up a plane would have been.

Prediction: Soon, a suicide bomber will swallow (a la drug dealer) his explosives and somehow be detected. Airports will close down and the land will be sold cheap.

His biggest accomplishment was to smell bad. He probably demanded two bags of peanuts.
