    What made this earthquake so deadly was the time the earthquake struck: 11:55 am local time. That was time the people were preparing their noontime meals, and the earthquake resulted in uncontrollable kitchen fires all over the city. Indeed, all those fires merged into a major firestorm, and most of the deaths from this earthquake were from the fires after the earthquake.

    Even in the midst of this great disaster, the Japanese still wasted no time in murdering the Koreans.

      Exactly. Kinda ironic. They killed people, and nature killed them. 😔

    Once the big one hits metro manila, it will looks like this. I highly doubts that some of the buildings, old or new can withstand a powerful earthquake. So many corruptions among agencies both in the local and national level.

      Buildings in Metro Manila have already survived a lot of earthquakes in the past and fortunately, they're all still standing! A lot of buildings in Metro Manila are already up to code and earthquake resistant except for the old buildings which were constructed before the 'Building Code of the Philippines' have been implemented.

      ​@@rm_alfarohow sure are you that everyone is complying with existing building codes? Examples are a couple of buildings in Central Sydney where high rise condo buildings had to be abandoned because of structural defects found at the basement area. Condos worth minimum of $Ms.

      @@divinahorsewoods7747 Well, considering that the Philippines is located in the Pacific Ring of Fire just like Japan and we experience earthquakes & typhoons frequently, the buildings in Metro Manila remain standing and not even one building has collapsed yet! I'm not saying that 100% of the buildings & structures are earthquake proof especially the old ones but I know that these new buildings built after the enactment of the 'Building Code of the Philippines' are already earthquake resistant because the architects & structural engineers in the country know very well that they can be held accountable if they don't follow the building code.

    The important is, it also caused Kanto Massacre killed tons of Korean, Chinese, people who had difficulties to pronounce Japanese vocal language for example deaf people, and many unknown people by spreading demagogue that Korean had put poison in the well. Police, army, citizens told any people they saw to say a word that is kinda difficult to pronounce, to prove they're japanese and they killed them if they couldn't say it.
    Japanese society still has the issues of it. First, there's still people who spread the same demagogue everytime when earthquakes happen, like "foreigners" put poison in the well, especially often seen on the internet like Twitter.
    Second, as japan is known for it in the world, there's historical revisionism about it as well. Like there was no massacre. A current tokyo governor, Koike Yuriko, has stopped the official announcement that was traditionally published by each governor of tokyo at 1st on Sept. that mourns victims of the massacre. Also, this governor, Koike has not allowed a movie to be played at "Tokyo Human Rights Plaza" BECAUSE THE MOVIE IS TREATING THE MASSACRE AS A HISTORICAL FACT.
    Koike hasn't published a statement for the massacre this year again. There was a die-in protest against the tokyo government, a ceremony for victims of the massacre yesterday. There's a historical revisionist group that denies the history of it, and it obstructs the ceremony. Tokyo is still conniving it.
    As you can expect, the government of japan is also saying like "there's no official record about it in the government" and that's all for it. It doesn't mean it's not a fact, there's tons of records that citizens left and saved. Also, the government admitted the massacre on a document once before. Although the gov. is saying it's an expert word, not a official government statement nor an understanding.

      @user-hkkn1kyls6hevb8v And those newspapers reflected in this Sept. 1st and are regretting their act at that time. And that "riot" thing is famous for also spread by people in the confusion of the earthquake, as that poison in the well was spread. Thanks for hustling to justify the massacre.

      @@thejokebrandt3810 I mean I feel like it's pathetic that you think adding information about it and share the anger against the governments still revision and hide some specific innocent people's death in this tragedy is deflecting from this tragedy. Yeah died on BOTH sides but the government try not to mourn and admit, even hide their death on one specific side. That's what I mean. Stop complaining about talking about the death on this tragedy. I don't get what you're trying to say and feeling "pathetic"

    That woman has a great voice and speaks well, except for those two words.
    Chimera. She pronounces it like camera. It’s Kymera, Ky, as in sky, accent on mer.
    Then she says IN oh vah tiv. It’s IN oh vay tiv.
    That’s just weird.
    Does she also say mee crow wah vay for microwave?
    Her name is Regina de Luna. Is Regina Canadian? De Luna doesn’t sound Canadian. But I’ve never heard these 2 mispronunciations before.

      You're right about Chimera (ky-MEE-ra), but the word 'innovative' has slightly different pronunciations in British and American English, so it's not wrong to pronounce it INno-vah-tiv.
