Given the water drenched nature of the pad, I wonder if the lady could actually see that the other was not parked on its pad.
Lack of SA.............................bites another pilot again!
There is a saying, "You should never assume. You know what happens when you assume. You make an ass out of you and me because that's how it's spelled." Judging distance by eye is fraught with danger, this is not the first, and nor will it be the last where helo drivers have run into obstructions, that's the main reason company's buy yellow paint and splash it about the concrete. In this case it's just a pity someone didn't make use of what the yellow paint was saying. Wonder what their SOP's were regarding positioning, if there were no SOP it leaves the door wide open and you have to ask why they wasted money on buying yellow paint. Looking back on past satellite photos the pads have changed position numerous times.

‘Still clear?’ - PIC
‘yes’ - copilot.
