Why it works
The opening holds an active engine view for 5.37 seconds while narrowing from the whole machine to one loose pin, so motion sustains attention before the first cut. The fault escalates through damage at 0:08, a leak at 0:11, and crew-level stakes at 0:14; the separate event introduced at 0:25.6 reframes the story just before the payoff.
