Why it works
The opening makes a costly contradiction concrete within 7 seconds, then adds four unusual maintenance details by 0:35. A present-day reversal at 1:09 reopens the question, while maps and archival shots explain the original ambition; the 4:43.9–4:51.3 local replay peak falls on the return to the dated story. The measured six minutes are only an excerpt of a 12:26 documentary.
