this is the "cbs evening news." >> axelrod: good evening. i'm jim axelrod, and this is a western editionst broadcast. a heartbreaking scene is playing out now in jindo, south korea, where relatives of those missing after that ferry sank off the south korean coast have gathered. today, that heartbreak boiled over into anger as relatives of the dead and missing rushed officials giving a media briefing, even throwing something at one. the death toll now stands at 36 after thirteen more bodies were found today. but with more than 265 people still missing, most of them students from a single high school, it is a number that will almost certainly rise. the captain of the ferry has now been arrested, along with two crew members. prosecutors say the ship's inexperienced third mate was at the helm in challenging waters when the ferry sank. seth doane met one mother consumed with grief.

>> reporter: divers battled heavy currents that continue to shift the submerged ferry. they searched for survivors but found only more bodies today. a buddhist monk chanted a prayer for the dead at this pier in jindo. it's a base for the rescue. it's packed with relief workers, volunteers, and, at its edge, families. it's as close as they can get to the submerged ferry and their missing loved ones. what are you sitting here thinking about? "i feel like hope is dying out," she told me. her 17-year-old son was on that high school trip. families gather around giant tvs at this pier for updates, but the news has not been good. "i saw on the news today that they found dead bodies on the fourth floor," she said. "i wonder if my son was one of them." >> reporter: there were stalls here offering free food, clothing and blankets, but it's

little comfort. "what is important is pulling our children from the sea," she said through tears. "i am his mother. i can't bear the fact that my son is inside the ocean." cranes have been brought in to lift up the ferry. the work will not begin until families grant permission. "how can you have children underneath the sea like that for several days," she asked. "they're just kids who never got to live the life they wanted to." we left her where we found her, gazing out towards the gray, no horizon in sight. she told us when she looks at the sea, she thinks of her son. >> axelrod: seth doane joins us now. seth, such grief as we just saw. also, a lot of anger in that gymnasium. what can you tell us about that? >> reporter: yes, jim, we have seen a real growing sense of frustration among these family members. we spoke with one woman who went to that stage in that gymnasium

and yelled at other family members, "what are we doing just sitting here?" we asked her what she meant. she said, as this rescue effort has dragged on, her hopes of her younger brother's survival had dimmed; her frustration with authority has only grown. >> axelrod: seth doane amid the heartbreak in jindo, south korea. thank you. half a continent away and 19,000 feet up, the search continues for those missing after yesterday's avalanche on mt. everest. as allen pizzey reports, it appears most of these victims are among everest's most experienced climbers. >> reporter: while monks prayed and chanted, family and friends draped buddhist scarves called khada over the sherpa guides who died in the avalanche. so far, 13 victims have been found; three more are still missing. in their religion, a body must be buried so the spirit can be reincarnated. five of the survivors are in critical condition, suffering from a variety of injuries, including broken ribs, fractured

limbs, punctured lungs and skin abrasions. blocks of ice the size of small houses thundered down on the guides as they were crossing the khumba ice fall, one of the most dangerous parts of the route up everest. the sherpas were ferrying supplies and equipment to a higher camp, easing the way for foreign climbers who pay up to $100,000 to attempt the ascent. but it is the sherpas who go first, breaking the deep snow, laying the ropes, carrying the heaviest loads. avalanches, altitude sickness, lack of oxygen and brutal cold are simply part of their working life. >> being a sherpa is the most dangerous job you can do anywhere. i mean, it's more dangerous than being a bush pilot, more dangerous than being a commercial fisherman. there are very few occupations that you can have that expose you to as much risk as carrying loads and taking clients to the summit of mt. everest. >> reporter: they can earn up to $5,000 for a two-month expedition, ten times the average annual pay in their impoverished, isolated homeland, and without them no one would make it to summit.

as one veteran climber once put it, the first sherpa-guided ascent of everest was in 1953, when sir edmund hillary and sherpa tenzing norgay became the first men to reach the top of the world. allen pizzey, cbs news, rome. >> axelrod: a u.s. drone strike has killed at least nine suspected al qaeda militants in yemen, according to the yemeni government. a witness said the air strike blasted the suspect's s.u.v. 60 yards off the road. several civilians were also reported killed. there's evidence tonight of yet another delay by general motors to recall unsafe cars. newly released government documents show g.m. waited years to recall more than 300,000 saturn ions despite receiving thousands of complaints going back ten years. the cars were finally recalled last month because of power steering failures. some of the nation's biggest banks are seeing a drop in profits due to a decline in mortgage lending. wells fargo has had a rather

aggressive response: getting back into the subprime market, lending to people with credit scores below 620. let's bring in financial expert jordan goodman, the c.e.o. of www.moneyamswers.com. i thought "subprime" was a dirty word. i mean, haven't we seen this movie before? >> we did see this movie. it's a little bit different this time. the people are going to have low credit scores, but they're going to in many cases have bigger down payments, 20% to 25%. back in 2005 and 2006, no down payment, 3%, very low down payments, and, in many cases, very little income. you know, they were the "no assets, no income" kind of loans. you're not seeing that today. but i think there is the possibility that, as this continues, you're going to get people starting to get foreclosed upon and become delinquent on these loans again. >> axelrod: so, who are these new buyers? i mean, who's going to qualify? and will the banks let them get in over their heads? >> well, the banks say they're not going to, but that hasn't been the record in the past. these buyers i think are people who in many cases maybe did okay in the past; they've fallen down to below 620, but they've enough

to get a 20% to 25% down payment, so they're in a little bit better shape that way. but there's not going to be a lot of people qualifying who have that kind of down payment and that low a credit score. >> axelrod: meanwhile, it's not just mortgages we're talking about with subprime loan. there's an even more dramatic increase in the number of car loans that are subprime. >> very big jump, yes, absolutely. 88% of general motors' loans these days are to people with credit scores below 640, subprime. that means that they're selling a lot of cars, but i think a lot of these cars are going to be coming back to them. already the delinquencies have been rising-- they're double what they were now from a year ago-- and that means that repossessions are going to be coming. the repo man's going to be coming to pick up a lot of these g.m. cars relatively soon. so, they're moving a lot of metal, but i think that there's a real warning sign here that people aren't able to afford the cars they're buying these days. >> axelrod: 88%, an astounding number. >> very big. >> axelrod: jordan goodman, thanks for being with us. >> thank you, jim. >> axelrod: a district attorney in massachusetts confirms tonight that a body found near a highway has been positively

identified as five-year-old jeremiah oliver. the boy was last seen in september but wasn't reported missing by relatives until december. three child welfare employees lost their jobs over the case, which has triggered calls for an agency-wide shake-up. it is marathon weekend in boston, two days of events ahead of monday's big race, which will be, of course, the first since last year's bombing. today, marathon runners began picking up their numbers at the city's convention center, while, not far away at boston common, some 10,000 runners set off on the annual 5k run. the victims of the bombing were remembered by marchers in a solemn one-mile walk to the marathon finish line at copley square. and it was exactly one year ago today that dzhokar tsarnaev was captured, ending a four-day manhunt. we caught up with dic donohue, a transit cop injured in a shoot- out with the bombing suspects. it has now been a year since the 34-year-old transit cop was shot in leg and gravely wounded.

the bullet severed a major artery. ( gunshots ) you were in cardiac arrest for 40 minutes. >> uh-huh, with not too many drops of blood left in me. >> axelrod: how close did you come to not making it? >> i think as pretty close as you can come. the statistic i heard is that 2% of people who have been in my situation live. i'm lucky that i have both legs. i'm lucky that i have memory and brain function and everything works pretty good. >> axelrod: donahue is working hard at his physical rehabilitation, although nerve damage in his left foot is still producing serious pain. >> i'd say i'm doing well. when i say that, my wife always says, "will you tell them the truth?" but i do have, you know, some lingering pain and some lingering effects of my injuries from last year. >> axelrod: his life has changed in so many ways in the last year, and not all are painful. he's one of the faces of

boston's recovery, a man about town now, doing things he never dreamed of, like serving as guest conductor for the boston pops. ( orchestra playing "shipping up to boston" by the dropkick murphys ) a year later, are you still wrestling with the emotional part of this? >> i'm happy that i'm here. i'm happy that, you know, my son has a dad, my parents have a son. you know, there's a more positive and happy with the result of what happened than anything else. >> axelrod: what branch of the military were you in? >> i was in the navy. >> axelrod: he still has no memory of the shoot-out. in fact, the last thing he does remember was the bombing itself three days before. it was only after he woke up in the hospital that his family told him his injuries may have been caused by friendly fire. the bullet that's still in you may well belong to a law enforcement officer. >> that's a possibility. >> axelrod: does that trouble you? >> it doesn't. i was the only one of the good guys that got hurt, and guess what?

i'm walking and talking. i'm here today, and the threat was eliminated that night. >> axelrod: if you're collateral damage? >> so be it. >> axelrod: the number one goal for the remarkable officer donahue is to return to work, which he is hopeful will happen sometime this year. at the vatican tonight, pope francis led an easter vigil. it was a solemn mass held in a darkened basilica, meant to invoke the darkness in the tomb of jesus. tomorrow, francis will celebrate easter mass in st. peter's square and deliver a blessing and message to catholics around the world. later, does a high school student deserve a suspension for inviting miss america to the prom? and the last chapter of a 70- year-long love story. those stories when the "cbs evening news" continues. i got a new windows 2 in 1.t's y it has exactly what i need for half of what i thought i'd pay. and i don't need to be online for it to work. it runs office,

>> axelrod: when a teenage boy asks a girl to the prom, the thing he usually fears is rejection, not suspension. of course, most teenage boys are not asking miss america to the prom when she visits their high school, and they're certainly not doing it when expressly told not to. but as marlie hall tells us, that's exactly what has happened with a high school senior in york, pennsylvania. >> reporter: when 18-year-old patrick farves asked reigning miss america nina davuluri to the prom, her rejection was sweet. the school's response? not as kind. central york high school suspended him for three days. >> it came off as disrespect, so that's... that's why i got suspended. >> reporter: the twitter outrage was immediate. "what's wrong with daring to dream," people asked. "where is the freedom of speech?" it's not as though celebrity prom dates are unprecedented. another pennsylvania high school students asked singer taylor swift to the prom. she had a scheduling conflict

but did go out on a date with him. >> so, justin... >> reporter: justin timberlake attended a marine corps ball after one lucky young lady's youtube proposal went viral. but central york school administrators say this is a story about rules, not dreams. the school had gotten wind of patrick's prom-prosal, and they told him not to do it. in a statement today, they said: remiss not to give an appropriate consequence to our despite his suspension, patrick is still allowed to go to the prom, but his date probably won't be wearing a crown. marlie hall, cbs news, new york. >> knock the cover off a baseball last night. >> i heard of hitting the cover off the ball. i've never seen that. >> maldonado's bat ripped the

>> axelrod: we've been keeping an eye on a slow-motion landslide that is now picking up speed in jackson, wyoming. it has already split a hillside home in half and forced dozens of people to evacuate. vinita nair shows us how the danger creeping towards the resort town is now becoming a tourist attraction. >> reporter: when you see this house from the air, it looks like it was suddenly ripped apart. when you see it from the ground, the one level looks more like a walk-up. but unlike a typical landslide where the earth shifts in an instant, these cracks have been creeping for two weeks. geologist jason rolfe has been documenting the landslide. >> we've been watching the cracks develop and offset the house. it basically severed it in half. you can pretty much walk up on

the... from the living room on to the roof of the other side of the house. >> reporter: this time-lapse video shows pieces of shale, clay and mud slowly moving down the hillside. over a period of weeks, the cracks crept beyond the house, downhill, and then ruptured this walgreen's parking lot. the landslide may have been triggered by unusually heavy snow in the rockies as well as construction in the area. >> we don't anticipate that it will be a large, catastrophic failure at the bottom where the whole slide will come down in one, massive plug of material. >> reporter: engineers don't think any more homes are in danger, but they don't know when or if the mountain will fully collapse. so, from sunup to sundown, residents are just watching and waiting. >> it has been a very popular site with the locals, as you can imagine. when you've got geology happening right there in front of your eyes, it's the

trying to find his way and try to figure out where and how to catch fish, and somehow he ended up going the wrong way. >> reporter: did he ever. it's believed hoppie's odyssey began in southern california off the channel islands. he migrated north, then under the golden gate bridge into san francisco bay, and down the san joaquin river, 100 miles inland. he then hopped out of the water, waddled over a mile before being found in an almond orchard. how bad was hoppie when you found him? >> he was near death when we found him. his main problem was his malnutrition. he was really skinny and we could see his ribs. and because he had been in the fresh water and running around in the dirt for a while, his hair coat was missing some of the hair. >> reporter: but after two weeks he's come a long way. hoppie is now recovering with nearly 200 other sea lions and seals. most were found beached, underweight and starving, then brought to the marine mammal center where they're nursed by volunteers before being returned

to their native habitat. >> that's where they belong. we're a rehabilitation hospital. we're not a zoo. we really would like to see them successful, eating fish and out back where they belong, and that's the ocean. >> yeah! >> reporter: on friday, we followed seven sea lions on that journey home, and doctors say hoppie could soon follow. >> he's looking great compared to when he first came in. hopefully, he can find his way this time. >> reporter: danielle nottingham, cbs news, sausalito, california. >> axelrod: now, that's a hoppie ending. and that's the "cbs evening news" for tonight. later on cbs, "48 hours." for now, i'm jim axelrod in new york. and for all of us here at cbs news, thanks for joining us and good night. captioning sponsored by cbs captioned by media access group at wgbh access.wgbh.org
