		At the time Kobe had a population of 1.5 million people and was supposedly one of the most quake-safe cites in Japan (Biema 2).

	Rapid transit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A rapid transit, underground, subway, tube, elevated, or metro(politan) system is a railway system, usually in an urban area, with a high capacity and frequency of service, and grade separation from other traffic.
		Elevated railways were a popular way to build mass transit systems in cities around the turn of the twentieth century, but they have fallen out of favour; and many elevated lines were later demolished, being replaced by subways or buses.
		The first underground railway in continental Europe was the Tünel, an underground 573-meter funicular between the quarters of Beyoğlu and Galata in the European part of Istanbul, completed in 1875 by French engineers on behalf of the Ottoman Empire.

		The recorded peak velocities were as large as 175 cm/sec at Takatori in western Kobe, and the largest values occurred in the densely populated urban region.
		The recorded peak horizontal accelerations from the Kobe earthquake are comparable to those predicted for a strike-slip earthquake using the Abrahamson and Silva (1995) empirical attenuation relation for soil based mainly on California data.
		On the Kobe mainland, evidence of liquefaction extended along the entire length of the waterfront, east and west of Kobe, for a distance of about 20 km.

		The zone of most intense damage is parallel, but displaced slightly from the surface projection of the crustal rupture zone implied by aftershock locations.
		The acceleration contours reveal that the peak ground acceleration levels decrease rapidly with increasing distance from the surface projection of the implied fault rupture.
		This rapid attenuation, readily apparent on plots of peak acceleration with distance compiled with linear scales (see e.g.

		Over 50 linear km of quay walls and waterfront retaining structures have been damaged because of liquefaction in Kobe and adjacent artificial islands.
		Lateral ground deformation has caused the piers of the highway bridge and electric rail bridge between Port Island and Kobe to lean between 2° and 3° towards the waterfront.
		This failure is highly significant because it is the first instance of severe earthquake damage to a modern tunnel for reasons other than fault displacement and instability near the portal.
