[MCU] How was HYDRA's plan going to work in winter soldier?

When hydra planned to kill millions of people with the three helicarriers how would that work. I ask because when they shot themselves down they all fired with huge missiles and other not so accurate weapons like just a bullet, so would they have blown up building just to kill a dozen or so people.

If you shoot people with missiles, they die  


To elaborate, HYDRA are dicks and don't really care about collateral damage. If anything as a blatant show of force (there's no real way they could pass themselves off as the Good Guys after this), massive damage helps cow the survivors and delay the organisation of a resistance.

So yeah. Bomb the shit out of people who were a threat to HYDRA, and then bomb the shit out of anyone nearby just to get the point across. We're a nazi cult who worship an undead space-demon. Hail Hydra!
