If the aircraft on C were waiting to take off they would have been at the threshold end and clearly visible.

It certainly wasn't anything close to a disaster. An embarrassing, recoverable error if true, at most.
When I started this thread the above was the first response to my comment.
I would like to remind the Gentleman, "What is 4 Feet between friends?"
