Tokyo appears to be like nothing prefer it did in 1923 when the town, made up largely of picket homes, was devastated by the 7.9-magnitude Nice Kanto Earthquake, which killed round 105,000 individuals. A century later, due to state-of-the-art engineering and neighborhood preparations, a few of the homes and skyscrapers of the Japanese metropolis can take quakes in stride.
