Almost a hundred thousand people were killed and half a million homes burnt to the ground

because of an earthquake in Tokyo in 1923 . The earthquake began a minute before noon

when the inhabitants of Tokyo were cooking their midday meals . All the food and stoves

fell onto the ground as soon as the earth began to shake . Therefore , small fires occurred

and quickly spread . The fire trucks came to help 10 minutes late because many of the

streets were too crowded then . As a result , more people were killed in the fires than by the

collapse of buildings .
