Survivors see their loss, I see water. This ship was lifted high enough to carry it over land once populated and then receded easing it down on top of the rubble. There had to be at least a 20 foot storm surge to do that. That ship was not dragged over land by water. It was not knocked over by water. It was lifted and then settled on land. The water was high enough to pull it off it's moorings and carry it over the structure standing next to it.
The ship has to be removed to find any of those that perished under it.
My deepest sympathies to the nation of Philippines. There will be great heartache there and in the USA due to this storm.

was washed ashore in Tacloban city, Leyte province central Philippines
on Sunday, Nov. 10, 2013. The city remains littered with debris from
damaged homes as many complain of shortage of food, water and no
electricity since the Typhoon Haiyan slammed into their province.
Haiyan, one of the most powerful typhoons ever recorded, slammed into
central Philippine provinces Friday leaving a wide swath of destruction
and scores of people dead.
