Pretty crazy video from 2024 of a United 767 lining up behind an A320Neo on the runway at LHR
and the jet blast from the smaller A320 pushes the bigger 767 back.

It would be interested to hear what CB pilots think about this - my understanding is in the US, only the plane that is cleared for takeoff/landing is allowed to be on the runway, but apparently at Heathrow they will often line up multiple planes to enable shorter takeoff windows. But I would think this is a risk to the plane behind that is catching the force of all that jet blast.
