In the pyramid that shaft would go to one of the voids. The research team used Lazer mapping to compare the model with the pyramid.

I would not put a lot of stock in anything “found” on a TV show.
Hawass will never permit any exploration of the possible void - at least publicly. So do not get your hopes up. Egyptology is designed to preserve the status quo, not upset it with a new paradigm.
Remember, Hawass is a muslim, and the only reason any structure from old Egypt is still standing is because they generate most of Egypt yearly revenue, while providing many thousands of jobs for the people and professional jobs for the learned. Muslims are the ones that striped the casing stones off the Pyramids to build grand buildings in Cairo long ago.
There are still local muslims that agitate to tear them all down, since they conflict with Islam and its origins. Were another form of equally lucrative revenue found or a fundamentalist government formed, they would be all gone in a year.
What is sad is that it was the ancestors of today’s Mohammedan Egyptians who built the pyramids.
they are the inheritors of the ancient Egyptians, but tossed it aside for a bedouin’s mish-mash belief system (or rather they were conquered and ground down and forcibly converted over centuries)
