In the Iranian coastal town of Kuhestak, a night of celebration became a night of mourning when a U.S. Navy airstrike on a military communications complex sent one of six bombs astray into a nearby wedding gathering. Five weapons found their intended mark; the sixth found only civilians. The incident joins a long and sorrowful record of moments when the mathematics of modern precision warfare collide with the irreducible fact of human proximity — and the margin of error, however small, proves catastrophic.
