  1. “Several ships have been reported missing in the last three weeks,” she replied. “And of course, Godzilla sank the Russian submarine two years ago. As a maritime threat alone, Godzilla is more destructive than a typhoon.”

  3. “Godzilla last entered a populated area--Tokyo, Japan-- on November 3, 1954. On that night and the next, 179,000 people were killed. Another 30,000 were injured. Some people sustained radiation burns on much of their bodies. Godzilla’s initial attack was followed by and outbreak of radiation sickness.”
  4. The creature destroyed the Japanese seat of government and much of the capital city. He leveled buildings and crushed whole industries. Landmarks and shrines that were hundreds of years old were destroyed in a single night. The damage was in the hundreds of billions of yen. It took nearly a decade to rebuild the city… and so much more was lost to time.”

  7. Brian gulped and averted his eyes. Nick whistled softly. Yoshi turned pale. May looked sick.
  8. “Godzilla is more destructive than the hydrogen bomb that gave him life,” Lieutenant Takado said. “If the creature comes to land, there is no telling how much damage he will cause. Or how many people he will kill and injure.”
