Unless you are experienced in the world of combat aviation and the things that go along with it I think we shouldnt really be saying what would be easy or not. Maybe they have a system like that in place but something went wrong. I will wait for the investigation.

Also a wonderfully relevant satire piece: ISAF Drops Candy To Afghan Children, Kills 51



they made multiple runs so it wasn't "collateral damage" this was a deliberate attack which means someone picked the wrong target.
Collateral damage doesnt mean that the attack itself wasnt deliberate its that certain casualties from the attack were. So for example if a plane dropped a bomb on a Taliban target and the blast killed a nearby civilian, the civilian would be collateral damage.
