At the city's airport the main centre for evacuation and relief bears its own scars. The terminal building was torn apart by the winds that Typhoon Haiyan brought with it and the surge of water that came off the ocean. It seems that nothing was too heavy to be pushed around by the onslaught and large pieces of airport equipment like passenger stairs are now wedged between the ground and the roof of the building, from which wires and pieces of metal hang and jangle in the breeze.
