with the world's attention focused on the war between israel and hamas, a human tragedy continues to unfold 1,500 miles away in afghanistan. search teams are clawing through the rubble of collapsed homes and villages after a 6.3 magnitude earthquake this weekend wiped entire communities off the map. the final death toll could reach 4,000. charlie d'agata reports. >> reporter: even in a country prone to earthquakes, this was the deadliest and most devastating to strike afghanistan in decades. a small child pulled from beneath the rubble holding a woman's hand. it's not clear whether she survived. residents dug through the debris with bare hands and small shovels in a desperate attempt to reach those trapped beneath collapsed homes that never stood a chance against the magnitude of the earthquake. and yet even in the search for any sign of life, with each
3:42 am
passing hour finding more dead than alive. overstretched and severely underequippedd hospitals were quickly overwhelmed. "many of our family members have been martyred,, including one o my sons," says mir ahmed. "my other son is also injured. most of the people are under the rubble." the u.n. has pledged to provide help, but a number of international aid agencies had pulled out of afghanistan after the taliban takeover. now they're asking the international community for help. for those survivors who have lost everything except their lives. charlie d'agata, london. in hawaii, two months after wildfires devastated parts of maui, some hotels are putting out the welcome sign for tourists. the smoke and flames killed about 100 people and destroyed nearly the entire historic town of lahaina. the fire also devastated the

3:44 am
the economy and create jobs. under the mayor's guidance, businesses including hotels on a three-mile stretch from kapalua to ca hana were encouraged to open sunday. the area of can paly is scheduled to open in phase two but that's where many evacuees have been sheltering at hotels. >> because of the tourism opening un, a lot of the residents have to relocate. so it's been very difficult. there's a lot of mixed emotions. >> reporter: adding to the difficulty for many here has been the conflicting information surrounding the fire and if it could have been stopped, slowed, or prevented. >> who is accountable for that lack of action? >> i think a lot of it is complacency. >> reporter: sherman thompson is former chair of the state's civil defense advisory council. he says the ultimate decision on whether or not to sound any warning sirens belongs to one person. >> it is the chief executive of the county, and that would be the mayor. >> reporter: we've reached out

3:46 am
scars from wearing ill-fitting harnesses and saddles while pulling a 2,600-pound caisson. >> they were all suffering from severe musculoskeletal injuries, neck pain. >> reporter: they were supposed to work two weeks on, two weeks off, but some ended up working six weeks straight. soldiers with limited training didn't recognize the problem, and higher-ups weren't listening. >> educating the chain of command on how to take the appropriate steps was a challenge. >> did you have a hard time getting through? >> initially, yes. >> reporter: then two horses died, and this army investigation finally declared conditions unsafe. the army brought in hearses to give the horses a full year to recover. they were sent to rehab for therapies like cold water soaks for their aching limbs. >> there was a lot of work to be done where monique hovey had been brought in as the new herd manager and started getting rid of saddles whose design dated

back to world war i. >> not only can they cause pain along their spine from how nrrow this is, but then there was a rub happening on this horse. >> it sounds like very basic stuff. >> yes, it's basic. >> reporter: now there are new saddles and some new horses. hovey calls the horses soldiers without voices, but george said it all in that ten-second video. here he is now a year later at the rehab center. >> george is a case of a success story. >> reporter: george will never go back to pulling a caisson, but horse-drawn funerals are scheduled to resume next year. >> i do not ever want to bring the horses back if they can't be taken care of appropriately. i do fear that we might revert back to where we were. >> reporter: for "eye on america," david martin, ft. myer, virginia. the "cbs overnight news" will be right back.

3:53 am
>> the amount of change you're making is -- >> tiny. >> reporter: it takes about two weeks to print the full 160-bead house. jenkins gave me the controls, an ipad. >> so look, lesley, that's a little skinny. will you press the plus one real quick. done. you just increased the bead side incrementally. >> i'd be worried if i were you. >> reporter: turns out the path is entirely pre-programmed. i couldn't mess it up if i tried. >> don't tell the people -- >> i think that's the most gorgeous bead i've ever seen. i think this will be the highest-selling house. >> reporter: for now, as jace an ballard showed us, icon is only 3-d printing walls with cutouts for plumbing and electricity. roofs, windows, and insulation are added the old-fashioned way, by construction workers. he calls it a paradigm shift. >> it really is like a wright brothers moment for airplanes. >> reporter: in how we construct our housing. >> but why do we need a big shift like that? >> because right now, it is too

expensive. it falls over in a hurricane. it burns up in a fire. it gets eaten by termites. the way you try to make it affordable is trim quality on materials, trim quality on labor. the result is these cookie cutter developments, and like, this is not the -- like we are not succeeding. it's something we have to get right on top of that. it's an ecological disaster. and i would certainly say it's existentially urgent that we shelter ourselves without ruining the planet we have to live on. fire resistant, flood resistant. >> reporter: ballard showed us a sample of a 3-d printed wall beside a conventionally built one. >> you say it's faster, more efficient. >> yes. >> why do you say that? >> what you've got, let's count the materials. siding, one. moisture barrier, two. sheeting, three. stud, four. drywall, five. then float tape and texture, you can count that either as one or three. but you've got at least half a dozen novel steps that have to take place to deliver an american stick frame wall system. by comparison, we need a single
