By the light of the wind-driven fires, rescue workers could be seen digging
through rubbles that had once been homes. At one home, a rescue team reported
hearing a child's voice shouting, "Over here! Help!" But the voice gave out
before workers could dig through the collapsed roof.
Like many Japanese cities, Kobe has large residential districts made up of
relatively weak wooden homes with heavy tile roofs. This is exactly the wrong
kind of structure to be inside when an earthquake hits. Government officials
said the collapse of these homes and aged apartment buildings was the main
reason for the large death toll.
As viewd from a street in Kobe, and from television network helicopters,the
earthquake left a scatter pattern of damage, rather than a broad swap of
destruction.
On one busy central Kobe street, an entire building had collapsed onto the
pavement. But considerably taller buildings on each side were left standing,
their windows broken but their structures otherwise apparently sturdy.
Some train stations emerged whole from the trimmer. At the (Honcue
railroad's etomy) station, however, the station building was flattened and a
huge passenger car tossed from the tracks, lay sidewise on the fallen roof.

Experts said this patchwork pattern of ruin reflected changing
architectural standards of the previous few decades.
As a major port, Kobe was virtually leveled by (L.I. bombing) during
World War II. Much of the city's current housing stock was built in a rush just
after the war. (Lana) in (parish) Japan was more interested in getting its
cities rebuilt quickly than in trimmer-proof architecture.

Over the decades, however, the Japanese have worked at earthquake damage
prevention. (Many of the newer buildings in Kobe evidentially withstood
the quakes while older structures at 25-year-old section of the city's main
(是用at嗎?)
expressway toppled crazily to the ground.
Japan, a relatively young and unstable archipelago, in geological terms, has
hundreds of earthquakes every year. In Tokyo, about three dozen are felt each
year, and two or three (anglers are )so severe as to be terrified.
(明明是那樣的音 卻找不到適合的字...)
Every school and company has yearly earthquake drills.Most public buildings
have (hardhats) hanging on the walls in case of an earthquake.People are taught
to grab a helmet, if possible, and see protection under a desk or a door frame
for the falling debris.
