Why it works
The opening holds one aerial view for 30.13 seconds while measured dimensions establish scale, then labeled red-and-cyan maps at 0:45–1:14 trace the hypothetical consequence through named places. The strongest replay peak at 3:13–3:22 coincides with the return from a long sponsor segment to dated historical footage, though some replays may be ad skipping.
