22:41How Dangerous is a Penny Dropped From a Skyscraper?
Curiosity Gap
- 'How Dangerous' assumes danger, so a harmless coin starts to sound like a threat.
- WE TESTED IT promises a real drop, not a calculation.
- The coin held near the lens looks as big as the towers below, so weight and height share the frame.
Title
'Skyscraper' rather than one named building keeps the question about height alone, and asking it plainly leaves the answer open either way.
Thumbnail
The fingertip grip shows the moment just before the drop, and the fisheye curve of the city makes the height look even greater.
When your topic is a famous what-if, put a short claim on the thumbnail that you actually tried it. Show the setup a second before it happens and keep the result out of both.

Say you actually tested the familiar what-if, so viewers expect a real answer instead of another guess.
