Why it works
The opening shows a dark runway and aircraft by 0:00.75, then a passenger-scale cabin at 0:02.7, while narration makes the physical stakes specific. At 3:19–4:14, the tablet-style evidence display highlights a wrong weight and connects it to three takeoff consequences; 4:00–4:15 is the measured excerpt's strongest replayed section. A 4:30–5:46 sponsor block interrupts the unresolved incident, so the measured six minutes do not show the final payoff.
