Driven through the Mersey Tunnel many times and often thought about the infrastructure behind the scenes. I missed the chance of a guided tour years ago, and always regretted it. Thanks for the video, Cheers!

I do too, if I'm in a small room and there is like an old vent fan or something it literally makes me anxious. I'm cool with normal cooling fans (no pun intended) but anything like this or some of the others you see around fill me with anxiety and yet I don't know why....

BIG VENT GUY!!!! I, from Ukraine, dream of visiting such a place! I love mechanical fans! At the Farmak Plant, where I installed Internet LAN connection systems somewhere in the period of 2005-2006, I saw ventilators more than 2 meters long (there is an exhaust system installed for filtering medical drugs! )
