Something Very Odd In That “CNN Crew Rescuing Man in Truck” Video

Kudos for CNN being in the right place at the right time and doing the right thing etc. CNN has been playing up the video all day as an act of spontaneous CNN bravery in a moment of emergency and crisis. High-fives and back-pats all around.
Here’s the video:

Except someone noticed something weird about it.
Either there’s another guy in the video and the footage makes it seem weird and conflated, or Drew Griffin had time to change clothes between the moment the man drove into the canal and the moment Griffin “rescued” him.
See Screengrabs, note times:
At 00:50 Drew Griffin (?) running toward man in truck. Note clothing.
Nine seconds later, Griffin arrives to drag man from vehicle. Only, now he’s switched from shorts and sandals into black pants and boots. Huh?
It wasn’t much of a desperate emergency if CNN’s Drew Griffin had time to change from a pair of shorts and sandals into a pair of long pants and boots?
Hey dude, wait right there while I put on my rescue pants and get my boots, ok?
Quick, hair and make-up,… How’s our lighting? ..ok and camera angles… we good? OK, annnd… “ACTION” !
Wait, what… huh?

What have you done today aside from dissecting CNN, giving them more viewers.

Lol.
I knew it was fake when Twitter has it trending 10 seconds after posting.
What a joke

Anyone who would doubt CNN is above staging this faux rescue is beyond naive...., lol!

The most difficult thing for me to believe in all of this is that somehow a decent person was employed by CNN.
That should draw skepticism.

There are probably quite a few decent people working at the lower levels (cameramen and such). It's just the editors and TV "journalists" that are the raging hyperpartisan shitbags.

Am I the only one who doesn't think the guy in the shorts is the same dude?
He's running and a split second later you see another guy standing in shorts. Pants guy wouldn't have already been standing in that position.

Either there’s another guy in the video
Unless the unsynched the audio, you can hear the reporter running while you see the guy in the shorts stepping gingerly across the shore.
I never put it past a news crew to fake something, but you need more evidence than this.
