Provided herein is a blast resistant cargo container sufficiently lightweight to be practical for aircraft transport. The container includes a frame assembly and a plurality of panels. Innovative panel connections between side panels and a unique door latching system improve the weakest links of the container. The plurality of panels includes a top panel, a bottom panel, a plurality of side panels and a flexible door. The side panels and the flexible door are formed of at least one explosion resistant sheet of a flexible, high tensile strength material. Edges of the sheets are wrapped around and secured to a rod. An edge capturing rail is wrapped around the sheets over each rod. The latching mechanism involves retaining a locking rail extending from the door panel in a groove of a doorpost or door sill with a detent bar.
