Watch a rare film of the September 1, 1923 quake that destroyed Tokyo.
Unbelievable. And you posted this right before the earthquake on January 1! Thank you for having this digitized and sharing it.
Thank you. The timing was a bit spooky, wasn't it…
恐ろしい。 Terrifying.
It is, isn't it, Louise!
In my three decade career as a Japan Correspondent I covered almost all the major earthquakes in Asia, so footage like this always gets to me… But I think it is important to remember.
