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. For
this reason, small fires occurred and quickly spread. The fire trucks came to help 10 minutes late because many of
the streets had cracked open. It is impossible to use firefighting equipment as most of the water pipes had burst. As
