The AGM-65 (Maverick) missiles fired by the Harriers were the AGM-65F, a massive air-to-ground missile that weighs over 650 pounds and is loaded with 300 lbs. of penetrating blast fragmentation high-explosive, only one of which would have completely obliterated the section of the bridge on which the vans were trying to escape. Experienced pilots, although authorized to fire, would never have spent four of these missiles on such a small target, and furthermore, the pilots would have fired from much farther away, given that the AGM-65F has an operational range in excess of twelve miles.
