They forgot to add a shadow. Bridge casts a pretty strong shadow showing the sun almost straight up in the sky but nothing from the plane. I have seen smaller propeller planes balance out with wind speed but a jet would need quite the wind and the water is also not that stormy

No. The shadow is on the left out of frame. Look at the shadow from the bridge.

The plane is also banked, it's turning.
This means as the camera moves around the plane we continue to see the plane from same angle - this adds to the illusion since it makes the plane look much further away.

To me it looks like the shadow from the bridge is a lot more vertical than would be needed to cast an airplane shadow off frame. To truly figure it out this would require tracking some points to find out where the plane actually is in relation and measuring its size against cars on the bridge. Way too much effort.

The sun is at an angle, check the bridge shadow again. It's almost 45° from the bridge position. Makes sense we can't see the plane shadow.

This is just parallax messing with our perspective. Scrub quickly and you'll see it's moving. It's slower since it's coming in for a landing at SFO.
