Read the passage and answer the questions below.

   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 the noon when inhabitants of Tokyo were cooking their midday meals. Thousands of stoves were overturned 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 burst. Consequently, over ninety percent of the damage was caused by fire rather than by the collapse of the buildings.

How many people were killed in the earthquake in Tokyo in 1923?
