The capsule landed pretty close to the booster!: https://youtu.be/JH4_bghcTjg?t=41m15s (41:15)
I'm guessing this is not supposed to happen?
Either way, I wonder how close the capsule would have to be before it would have led to a significant delay in the passengers being allowed to exit. Ground crew having to maintain their distance until booster 'safing' was complete, etc.
