“1,400-tonne”? I’d like to see the plane that could carry that!

Another idiot hired as a journalist.

Just wait until they see the old WW II guy they bring in to defuse it. ;-)

Yeah...I noticed that. Has to be a 140 pound bomb. Or kilos.1400 tons? Pffft.

And if it is a 1400 pounder, why are 70,000 people being evacuated?

The Europeans use a comma instead of a decimal point. We would say 1.400 tonne (3000 lb).

Probably the euro use of comma for a decimal, so 1.4 metric tons.
