Why it worked
The video likely resonated due to the dramatic and concerning nature of the aviation incident, combined with the use of data overlays to provide a pseudo-analytical perspective. The "what if" questions posed by the on-screen text and the tragic outcome create a compelling narrative that encourages engagement and sharing.

Product placement
Amazon Prime Air: ACTS - it is the aircraft that is the subject of the video, and its landing performance is analyzed. Removing it would fundamentally change the video. Prime Air: APPEARS - it is a logo on the side of the aircraft. Removing it would not change what happens in the video.
