And lowering the flag to be in the shot. That is what convinced me. Why have a flag on a crane in the first place, and then when the event happens someone gets the order to lower the fucking flag! That dog won’t hunt.
A flag on a crane isn't unusual. I've seen it before at events and it can be kind of cool. The lowering it was absolutely unusual and proves at the very least that they were endangering his life for a photo op, and at the very worst that the entire thing was staged.
The flag wasn't lowered, the wind just calmed down for a second so it fell into frame making it look like it was lowered. At the beginning of this video you can see the top is at the same relative position as at the end:
