I'm doing a report on blue whales and it said an average whale weighs 120 tons. I want to compare this to something to show how much it actually weighs. What else weighs around 120 tons?

All the combined industries in the U.S. pump out 120 tons of sulfur into the air per day.
120 tons is also the weight per engine of the Queen Elizabeth II. This is not to be confused with the 2 400 ton motors.
6.4 fully loaded F-16 fighter jets
28 tons heavier than an empty B-52 bomber.
