Where would the landing lights be pointing at? "Where is this guy going?" came from the pilot on the ground. was his plane being painted by the light of AC759? is it that easy for the pilot on the ground to ascertain that the AC579 was going to land on top of his plane? conversely, why the crew were not able to see the big planes on the taxiway?
Was it possible for the ATC to know AC579 was heading towards the taxiway from his view point? If not, how can he share the blame for this incident?
Erasing the voice data really puts the aircraft crew in bad light. If this was being treated as an accident investigation then the CVR data had to be immediately secured after the landing. There were speculations that the crew would NOT do that on their own to mask their culpability and now those fears have come true.
