Just your average explosives. Thankfully they weren't nuclear or else we'd be having some serious problems with Japan. (They would undoubtedly be, and irreversibly be, angry with us.) But the bombs again were only filled with gunpowder and materials used to make dynamite. The gunpowder helped to ignite the dynamite if the initial fuse couldn't because the only way gunpowder WONT ignite is if it is wet.
