Removal of timelapse video

The article used to include this time lapse video of the storm's life cycle: :File:Hurricane sandy nasa satelite time lapse video.ogv in the meteorological history section, but it was removed in this edit on sept 23 2024: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hurricane_Sandy&oldid=1247140833. I'd like to suggest that video be reinserted; the edit summary doesn't seem to give a concrete reason for why it had to be removed, and I feel the video significantly added to the article in terms of understanding and visually grasping the storm's unusual life cycle. This seems to me to have been valuable content and I think removing it makes the article worse. 68.40.184.139 (talk) 05:32, 8 October 2024 (UTC)
