I think it was ‘simply’ someone double hitting F12 by mistake to run the closing sequence too early straight off the interview.

Then they tried to manually cut to the cameras but of course the cameras were already executing the end sequence moves…

In E there’s a big STOP button which stopped all movements - surprised there’s not something similar here, although maybe that causes different issues!

As in an emergency stop button for safety purposes or a stop button to stop unintended movements impacting output? If it's a safety stop then that would almost certainly cause knock on issues and take some work to undo.

I'm quite surprised the director doesn't have some sort of 'undo' button that recalls the previous state and moves everything back, so that if you've accidentally advanced the automation you can just hit that to move all the cameras back and cut up the previous source again...
