Would you say this disaster is worse than the 1923 Great Kantou Earthquake?

Question:


Yes or no, and In what ways?

Answer:


It depends on what is worse for you.

by magnitude, the 2011 earthquake is worse than the 1923 quake as another says.

by casualty, more than 100,000 people were dead or missing in the 1923 quake. It's about 28,000 people in the 2011 quake.

by GDP, Japanese GDP in 1923 was much smaller than 2011. It was less than 10%. So the simple damage amount was much smaller in the 1923 quake.
