So the reason nobody was hurt was because everyone had left. Not because of super precision targeting (like in the dessert )missing everyone CNN. DOD could have sent an anti-missile ship offshore, if enough range to shoot down the missiles soon after launch. Or send fighter planes and use their a-a missiles to shoot down soon after launch. Maybe even cannon. That Gatling 20mm cannon was something else. In the Vietnam War an F-4 shot down 4 Migs on 1 flight. I was at Ubon, Thailand and they named the plane the Gunner I think. I do not remember working on it, but I may have. So even an old F-4 could have shot these missiles down. Either IR Sidewinder or radar Sparrow I think. I think it could carry 8 + 1 Gatling. Timing would be critical, but if they quit, just reset. If they had, these buildings would not have been damaged. The F-4 had ECM and chaff, so I think could have made it. Today DOD could have used a longer range radar missile.I think the Phoenix is 100mi!

So the reason nobody was hurt…

… was because Iran graciously let them know where they were striking, so they could leave.

I'd say that was pretty decent of them.
