Was anyone else distracted by the "Magic Countdown" bomb?

This movie's bomb had 15 minutes. In that 15 minutes (correct me if I'm wrong), Ethan Hunt:

- Discussed what to do
- Ran after the helicopter
- Climbed up the helicopter, falling once on the way up
- Took over helicopter
- Engaged in helicopter chase, being shot at by a gatling gun
- Crashed the helicopter
- Survived a tremendous helicopter v. helicopter collision
- Fought bad guy on a cliff
- Fought bad guy on the ropes, killing him
- Climbed the cliff back up and go the detonator, removing the component needed.

I timed it with a real stopwatch, and noticed pretty quickly that they kept adding time to the timer. This means that some scenes during the 15:00 take place at the same time as other scenes, however, we the audience have to watch them in separate order. It's definitely not real time.
