Right. From the video

it is apparent that the Stinson must have begun his takeoff roll while
the Cherokee was about to touchdown, as it was obviously not
positioned behind the runway threshold. It looks like yet another
high-wing/low-wing blind spot mishap, and begs the question of CTAF
position broadcasts.
