Why it works
A moving jet and stolen-aircraft premise establish action by 0:03.3 without an intro. The visual proof changes with the narrative: portrait around 0:07, schematic around 0:17, map around 0:24, runway by 0:31 and inspection diagram at 0:43. The supposed prize is then reframed as an unanswered discovery before the 0:49 full-story card; the 0:51.9–0:52.5 transition is the strongest replay peak.
