Unit cost on a vanilla Hellfire is what, $115k?

I watched 'em launch a $9b KH-11 just to keep an eye out for Osama bin Laden and that doesn't even cover the whole No Easy Day treatment, that's just IMINT. Frankly if they gotta spend triple just to cut down on the collateral damage I'm 100% cool with it. Eye in the Sky is not a movie you easily forget.

I find it interesting that some of the windows are undamaged and the seats look rather clean I wonder if this thing is almost precise enough to target just front or back row passengers

Prolly depends on where the laser's being pointed from.
