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

the habitants of Tokyo were cooking their midday meals. Thousand 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 was caused by fire rather
than by the collapse of buildings

at one end of the line, and Watson worked on the telephone in other room. The first
transmitted words were, ‘Mr Watson, come here. I want to see you’
