Rough calculations

If you check the layout of BCN, you can see the distance from the threshold to that crossing, and the altitude of the aircraft can't be that great, given that it appears to be about half the wingspan above the ground at most.

It was calculated earlier to be about 1166m horizontal separation from the threshold to the 2nd crossing.

I don't think the margin of error will be large enough to change the judgement call on this one.
