Why it works
The first frame shows the damaged structure, the address appears by 0:02, and the stakes arrive by 0:09. A 19.29-second annotated building view at 0:22 maps the added floors, while the 1:58–2:15 shoring photographs make the explanation inspectable; the highest replay peak is 2:06.7–2:08.5. The presenter distinguishes a plausible mechanism from an unconfirmed cause at 0:11 and again at 1:43.
