That's why I said if you believe it.

Although as it is ADSB information (most likely) and the rest of the flight looks pretty normal the digital data must not have been interpreted/received correctly for the few "crucial" moments of this flight.

The data is Mode S extended squitter direct from the ATC transponder on the aircraft and as long as you have the correct equipment anyone can receive it. No encryption at all.

I think a video that shows the whole approach would be better as don't think the videos above show the full story but instead the most dramatic aspects, better for the press that way.
