From what I read, they were being actively being marshaled with wing walkers in place. Of course, I wasn't there so I can't say exactly whether the account is accurate or not.
I'm sure we will see some FOAB coming out of this in the near future.
Obviously... if you are being marshaled in and you feel that it is not safe to continue. It is your responsibility to stop until the situation is rectified. Once you start moving, you need to follow the instructions from the marshaler. Is all ground equipment (including other airplanes) are on the other line of the clear lines? I think you can make a case that it wasn't your fault.
