What do you think all those lines are for Skittles? If you're on the centerline than you know your wings are inside the wing clearance lines (see picture above). It would have been quite evident that the 145 was sticking out. I think they just assumed (poor airmanship) that the 145 would be clear by the time they got to that point and didn't expect it to stop short as it did. Pure speculation of course.
