” Big Ben is 15,000 cubic feet. “
Wrong! Off by a factor of 10! (Actual interior volume of the tower is about 150,000 cubic feet.)
Yet another example of the pitiful innumeracy rampant in the mass media.
An ordinary, smallish, house has a volume of about 15,000 cubic feet. That should have tipped off the author of the article to, at least, ask someone who completed one high school math course to check the figures.
LOL.
I wouldn’t have known, but I don’t write ‘em, I just post ‘em.
I think the bell itself is called Big Ben. The tower it is in is another matter.
