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 noon when the habitants 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 damage was caused by fire rather than by the collapse of
buildings.
Most of those who died were not killed in the earthquake itself but in the fires, which
followed. If the earthquake had occurred at night while people were sleeping, far fewer would have died.
