Almost a hundred thousand people were killed and half a million homes destroyed as a result of

an earthquake in Tokyo in 1923. The earthquake began a minute before the noon when the

inhabitants of Tokyo were cooking their midday meals. Thousands of stoves were overturned as

soon as the earth began to shake. As a result, small fires broke out everywhere and quickly spread.

The fire engines were prevented from going to help because many of the roads had cracked open. It

was impossible to use fire fighting equipment as most of the water pipes had burst. Consequently,

over ninety percent of the damage caused by fire rather than by the collapse of the buildings.
