Can 8 to 12 oz bring down a plane?

Maybe... That would be a greater explosive force than a hand grenade. And if it were set off in the rear lavatory, there would be a good chance of disabling the rudder and elevators.

You mean the rudder may go all wonky like American Airlines Flight 587 that crashed On 12 November 2001 just after takeoff from JFK?
