He mentioned retrospective permits which means he did it first and tried to make it legal afterward. However, he wouldn't have got the permits if he hadn't done things properly, so there's that. Finally, there were contractors involved which usually know their jobs.

What's the worst that is going to happen? He made a video and then lets the professionals clean up his mess if it's unsafe.

The worst that could have happened is that he could have been ordered to remove it again at great expense.
It might still be worth it for him ?
His videos make enough to justify the expense risk ?.
I mean others wouldn't likely make money in projects like this. They do it because they need/want the actual tunnel. He really only the videos of him making one.

He declared over £1million in just one company last year, and Sky were paying for the bunker anyway.
Same with this tunnel, this one is sponsored.
I do wonder if he's killed his budget though, because he's just randomly stopped, filled the walls with concrete and is now "taking a break". I suspect this one might not get finished.
