Episode 2 - The last of of Britain's off-shore rigs in one of the most productive gas fields. 2,500 tones of steel, 15 miles of pipe work. Now it's to be demolished, a feat of engineering work. Watch as this giant is brought to its knees.
Episode 3 - 32,000 tones of steel. 7 decks, each the length of a football pitch. 4 engines, burning 2500 liters of fuel an hour. One massive feat of engineering. The North Sea Ferry. For 25 years this metal monster has been on the ocean, but now, it's been taken out for the biggest overhaul of its life. Join us as we explore the underbelly as it's stripped down to its core.

Proud of the Welsh lads. You can see the passion. I would trust no one more to do this vital job. I love the 747. Flew on them twice, when those engines hit full power, there is no other plane like it.

The "Clean Sea Policy", is a good policy. You Put it there, you clean it up. If everyone did that with their trash on land and at sea, we would have a much better, healthier and cleaner planet. It like when i go camping, when I leave, nobody will know i was ever there.

"I wouldn't say I relish the challenge, because we are mere mortals" what a humble man with real perspective!

Wow the ferry renovation was incredible, the task of replacing and renewing etc was just enormous. I learned so much i had no idea how amazingly well thought out all the details were, amazing. Respect to all the ppl involved in doing this big lady up!

Breath taking. Much more than Space travel.

These guys can’t enough appreciation for the hard labor and long hours to ensure plane safety. This is some pretty important stuff that most of the population can’t or most likely wouldn’t wanna do. I’m so thankful there’s hard working people like this. Great video to show all the processes of plane engineering and safety.

The presenter looks like Sideshow Bob

I love everyone in this video that helps make flying safe❤️❤️❤️❤️

It's so sad the 747 has ceased being manufactured. It's so true when they say, they don't build them like that anymore, when it comes to the 747!! I would rather fly in and feel more safer in the 747. No matter what country you live in, if you got to work with this incredible machine you must be so proud to have been part of a legend!!

How they use the CO2/Nitrogen to actually 'suck' in more air to inflate the emergency raft/slide is a truly genius hack using physics
-
Anyone remember who did the door bolts up?
-
I searched for this for so long!! Finally got the video
-
Excellent! When I was a new pilot during my walk around I dropped my pencil. I went and picked it off the floorboard …….and looked up just under the rudders. Oh man! I found out the Wright Bros. we’re still there. Bicycle chains and cogs……I thought “ OK, I’m gonna fly this bicycle with wings. I was shocked, lol 😜

Job well done guys...Outstanding crew in getting the plane overhaul and completed...
-
Great documentaries! Thanks for sharing!!!
-
Thanks for enlightening us,very informative.

The guy looks shocked at how much it will cost Shell to remove the oil rig. What's he a stakeholder? Shell put it there, they should have to remove it... Also, the fact that they wanted to just dump it in the ocean is bonkers. Then the guy was like "I don't think we explained it very well". No, you explained it perfectly. Unbelievable. The fact that 70% of the oxygen we need to survive comes from the oceans and you just want to dump an oil rig in the middle of one is insane. How many oil rigs could you dump before it becomes a problem in Shell's eyes? 10?, 100?, 1,000??? Just insane.

The flight simulator sequence is absolutely fabulous
-
Overwhelmingly astonishing, truly.

Since this procedure takes five weeks, have we ever heard about either of the Air Force One 747's being taken out of service? Considering that they fly both planes simultaneously for redundancy, when would they have the time?
