摘要
On 17 January 1995, a big earthquake, registering magnitude 7.2 on the Richter scale hit the western part of Japan, claiming 6,048 lives, injuring at least 34 900 people, and destroying properties and infrastructures, causing an estimated damage of between 95 to 140 billion U.S. dollars. This paper gives a detailed description of the disaster and attempts to provide a scientific explanation to the disaster.
