All the road arrows point in the other direction to the way they are parked. That had to be inches or cm between there. I'd say it was a Merry Christmas. At least she got the Kid out of the way...but if it would have hit their car would likely have hit all 3. Also someone was in the car as the brake lights went off just as the bus went by so rolling backwards would have been an issue.

I watched it a couple more times but could not see any movement of the car like it was hit but the resolution and the guy walking in front of the camera didn't help.
Been a long time for me riding the cable cars in SF too (mainly for tourists), but I think there are at least 2 turntables; the main at Powell & Market and the one at Ghirardelli Square (Beach? and Powell). I think there may be a 3rd at Bay & Taylor. It is a fun thing and pushed them on the turntables a couple of times while at Ghirardelli seeing the street artists and buskers.
Here is are a couple of links to some of the history and some vintage photos.

I've watched steam train engines do that many times but all people,esp unpredictable children, are kept well clear. There is one in a town called Imbul SEQ that has one but for a few years has not been used as the track needs attention near that town in the heritage railway.It's NOT FOR PROFIT so things take time & it stope in a nearby town. When I took my dad to see it a while back the engine was younger than he was. I think it was a 1926 model he was born 1913 & passed 2014..
