At 3:42 a.m. on July 28, 1976, a magnitude 7.8 earthquake hit the sleeping city of Tangshan, in northeastern China. The very large earthquake, striking an area where itA sample of homeworkwas totally unexpected, ruined the city of Tangshan and killed over 240,000 people, which made it the deadliest earthquake of the twentieth century.
When the earthquake struck Tangshan, over a million people were sleeping, unaware of the disaster thatwas to befall them. As the earth began to shake, a few people who were awake had the forethought to dive under a table or other heavy piece of furniture, but most were asleep and did not have time. The entire earthquake lasted about 14 to 16 seconds. When the quake was over, the whole city was destroyed in a mess. Buildings collapsed, and the medical centers were destroyed as well as the roads.
Survivors were faced with no water, no food, and no electricity. After the earthquake hit, 242,419 people lay dead or dying, along with another 164,581 people who were severely injured. In 7,218 households, all members of the family were killed by the earthquake. With so much damage, recovery was not easy. After the emergency care was given, the rebuilding of Tangshan began almost immediately. Tangshan people struggled to rebuild their homes.

Though it took time, the entire city was rebuilt and is again home of over a million people, earning Tangshan the name “Brave City of China.”
