The announcer addressed this, he said that he footage was not the same but looked similar because of the proximity of the boosters to each other. I think they were just extremely well choreographed. If you watched the side view from the landing pad they landed at almost exactly the same time.

In the on-board footage both landed on the same pad. https://youtu.be/wbSwFU6tY1c?t=37m53s

If you look at the footage closely you see that they used the same footage for both boosters. Nevertheless, the landing was superb. edit: https://youtu.be/wbSwFU6tY1c?t=37m53s

They weren't, if you look at the winglet thingy you could see the cameras were at slightly different positions. https://i.imgur.com/xP9JxOB.png

Sounds like they lost the center core (might just mean the signal its not clear), hell of a showing though the team should be really proud of the accomplishment. https://twitter.com/stevewdavens/status/960984330943258624 Original audio from the webcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-B_tWbjFIGI&feature=youtu.be...
