A U.S. ton is 2,000 pounds. But he said they were 20 tons and that was 20,000 pounds 2,000 * 20 - 40,000 pounds. 22 tons would be 44,000 pounds.

But then he clarified that they were metric tons.

A metric ton 2,204.623 pounds. 2,204.623 * 20 = 44,092.46 pounds.

I listened to it to make sure I got exactly what he had said. He said they were 20 ton columns he than clarified that they were metric tons, that means they weighed 20,000 pounds.

Where did you get that wacky math?

1 US ton = 2,000 pounds

22 tons = 44,000 pounds
