It seems from what I can make out that if it had gone off as planned, the plane would have blown up before anybody had a chance to react.

Fox had a fellow on this morning who commented that 100 grams of PETN is enough to destroy a car. The guy on the NWA flight had 80 grams. Had it exploded, he'd have blown out the side of the plane and likely ruptured and ignited the fuel tanks.
