Rear-view mirrors are not a manufacturer option, so Well Done the BA push-back crew who saw the problem.
On the <edited> evidence offered, there was no clear instruction to either aircraft about deconflicting this scenario. Sorry, Ground, you let things slip ... I accept you were busy, but letting both aircaft sort it out themselves was NOT an option.
You don't know this for sure and you are wrong to assert it is true. One was to push back to Bravo and one to Charlie. Do you know where the supposed conflict should have occurred? Please tell me from what stands the push backs were to occur.
