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 inhabitants of Tokyo were cooking their midday meals. Thousands of stoves were overturned as soon as the earthquake 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 firefighting equipment as most of the water pipes had burst. Consequently, over ninety percent of the damage was caused by fire rather than by collapse of the buildings. Most of those who died were not killed in the earthquake itself but in the fires which followed.
