They're right, the title is misleading. It says "number of bombs" but then there's the asterisk that says "Estimated tons of explosives dropped". It's still a harrowing statistic, but they could've worded it better. They could've said "Amount of bombs" and they wouldn't be misleading.
I mean considering most bombs weight quarter to half of a ton, this stat in tonnes makes it much more ghastly than if that was a number of bombs.
