Relax. May be a mere coincidence. 9W118 was flying 10-12kts faster and caught up with BA which slowed down 2kts.
Assuming BA had front row seat to this drama... from 15:53 UTC to 16:26 UTC and aware of impending intercept, gawking is human nature.
@Yaw String, Hollywood already has a SOP for this, watch Executive Decision(1996). Use taillights to send morse code.
