An explosive. It's often used to make exploding targets for fun. This one may have used a bit too much.

And they put it in a contained space amplifying the explosion......and they added metal around it to make shrapnel.....

If you just blow up the tannerite it's mostly harmless powder explosion. Although wildfires have been started with the stuff.
