Detonating a grenade on a plane?

You all know that scene in World War Z where Brad Pitt pops a grenade on the plane? In real life, would the effects have been about the same?

    The plane would probably depressurise, and a number of people would get killed. The Oxygen masks would drop down and the pilot would descend to an altitude where there was more air. I suspect that a single grenade would not be enough to bring down a big jet.

    I don't know that scene, did not see that movie but I would never want to be on such a plane indeed.
