The picture they ran with the story showed 105 feet as its length; the mistake was only in the text.

In height?
32 m?
What would be the length of a titanosaur of such a height?
It was a funny error on the part of the BBC web site writers. They meant -

frightening.
What WOULD be the estimated length of a monster like that?
