Answer 1

TOKYO, Japan - The Great Hanshin Earthquake, also known at first as the Southern Hyogo Prefecture Earthquake,
struck near the city of Kobe in western Japan at 5:46 AM JST on January 17, 1995. The quake was the worst such disaster in Japan since 1948 and caused over five thousand deaths and unexpected destruction. The death toll of over five thousand was worse than earlier reported, the slow response by government was broadly criticized, and the upgraded damage estimates ranging from 3-14 trillion yen ($30-140 billion) sent Tokyo's Nikkei Average down a thousand points on January 24.
