Almost a hundred thousand people were killed and half a million
homes were destroyed as a result of an earthquake in Tokyo in 1923.
The earthquake began a minute before noon when the inhabitants of
Tokyo were cooking their midday meals. Thousands of stoves were
overturned as soon as the earth began shake. Over ninety per cent of
the damage was caused by fire rather than by the collapse of the
buildings. If the earthquake had occurred at night while people were
sleeping, far fewer would have died.
