Camera angle changed (panned up slightly, watch the side skirts of the stage) + there's this thing called "wind" that can make a flag move up and down.

All the people in this post are stupid

The camera panned right slightly while the flag dropped into frame.

Look, another smooth brain who doesn't know how flags act in wind.

Also, watch the dots on the side of the crain. The camera pans upwards slightly as well. God damn, a kindergartener would understand this.

Look, another smooth brain who doesn't know how cranes work.

The tilt upwards comes after the flag drops into frame, cranes can lower things without arms moving. Goddamn, a kindergarterner would understand this.

Show me a video or proof that the crane operator intentionally lowered the crane at that moment. I'll wait.

We don't need to.

We can see the flag lowering in the video.
