Abstract

[Extract] The RAAF Hercules slowly turned for a final approach and through the small window we got our first view of the city of Tacloban. Five days before, Typhoon Haiyan with wind speeds of greater than 300kph had crossed the coast almost over the top of Tacloban. Tacloban, a city slightly bigger than my home city of Cairns, lay in ruins. All we could see was rubble, and what I imagined Armageddon would look like.
