Why it works
The opening states a concrete outcome by about 0:10 and withholds the deeper causal chain by 0:17. An aborted first attempt around 2:21 reopens the stakes, while the sensor explanation at 2:43–3:49 prepares viewers to understand the maintenance choice; the 5:20.7–5:29.2 workaround passage is the strongest replay peak inside the measured excerpt.
