Gần một trăm nghìn người thiệt mạng và nửa triệu ngôi nhà bị phá hủy do trận động đất ở Tokyo năm 1923. Trận động đất bắt đầu một phút trước buổi trưa khi người dân Tokyo đang nấu bữa trưa. Hàng nghìn bếp lò bị lật đổ ngay khi mặt đất bắt đầu rung chuyển. Kết quả là những đám cháy nhỏ bùng phát khắp nơi và nhanh chóng lan rộng. Xe cứu hỏa không thể đến hỗ trợ vì nhiều tuyến đường đã bị nứt. Không thể sử dụng thiết bị chữa cháy vì hầu hết các đường ống nước đã vỡ. Hậu quả là hơn 90% thiệt hại là do cháy chứ không phải do sập nhà.

A. Mười vạn người

B. Gần một trăm nghìn người

C. Hàng nghìn người
