Why it works
The first 6.6 seconds hold one dark aircraft image while the narration compresses a decades-long reversal into a matter of weeks. Archival aviation footage builds the historical comparison before an 89-second map sequence from 3:24 advances through many labelled route states; the 4:59 turn to booking infrastructure renews the question. Replay windows around 2:11 and 5:29 coincide with concrete passenger and booking examples, though the reason viewers replayed them is inferred.
