The second video is published on the Instagram account thingswendysees and is not widely distributed.
It shows the aircraft in level slow clockwise tight turn approx 150ft AGL, less than 200 ft from the river bank and very near the Edison power facility, then a climb North, back past camera and toward the accident site.

Note that original videos were shot in portrait mode, but are cropped for Instagram.
The full height videos show a ferry (or ferries) sailing South down river toward camera, which may corroborate the photographers recollection that the aircraft returned very shortly after the recording of the first video ceased.
