In the ferry sinking. At least 87 are confirmed dead. 215 people are missing and most of them are high school students. The ferry at least 30 feet below the ocean surface. Look at the conditions. Divers struggling to search the freezing, murky waters. Theyre now trying to get into the cafeteria where officials believe most of the students were when the vessel started to capsize. South koreas president is calling the actions of the captain and crew members, quote, akin to murder. The captain and six others are now under arrest but no amount of retribution against those in charge of the ferry brings comfort to parents who have lost a child. Heres our kuang lah. Reporter the first police boat returns from the search site. Parents waiting, bracing. They return one by one in identical, plain, white bags. Behind the screen, initial inspection. A blanket to cover. A short march back to land. Parents rush to the white tents to identify their children. You must have said, daddy, save me, weeps this father. No one is immune to the sound of losing a child. As the families leave the tents, so, too, do the stretchers emptied. Returning to the gurneys that await the next boat. Another group of someones children. Another march back to the tents. 13 return in this group. But more than 200 are still missing. Gurneys on the left side of the dock, divers board ships to the right to continue the search. To bring the rest home. Kuang lah, cnn, south korea. I think its hard to imagine even how the families are coping with this tragedy. Our Paula Hancocks joins us from south korea. And paula, i mean, just agonizing to watch these family that is are struggling with making these identifications. But for the families that havent found their loved ones yet, are they Still Holding out hope . We know that this is still being called a search and rescue operation even though no survivors are being pulled from the water. Reporter well, unfortunately, no survivors pulled out since wednesday, since the day that this ferry sank. We are going into the sixth night here, monday evening, since this ferry sunk. Hope is fading fast. But as you say, this is still a search and rescue operation. We spoke to an official a couple of hours ago and he said even though they havent found air pockets, it is not beyond the realm possibility there could be air pockets within the ship basically because its not sunk to the bottom of the sea. He said that its at this point about 30 to 50 feet below the surface of the water but its been there for sometime and maintaining that flotation level. So of course, this is still a search and rescue operation and i think many families will understand that that hope at this point has to be fading. The fact that they havent pulled anyone out alive since wednesday. Every moment that passes im sure that must be agonizing. Also, im curious, how are they letting the parents know if their child has been found . How are they identifying the bodies and communicating that to them . Reporter well, it is a heartbreaking scene in the harbor behind me. What they were doing a couple of hours ago when there was a cluster of victims, of bodies found and they knew were coming back the shore, there was an official on a loudspeaker effectively describing who had been found, describing the gender, the height, the weight, the clothes that that particular passenger was wearing. And there were many passengers around listening, wondering if thats their child and recognize what they were wearing. I understand its perm yatding the area there. Thank you for bringing us that report, Paula Hancocks. Appreciate it. Want to turn to the search for flight 370. The bluefin21 is now conducting the ninth mission deep in the indian ocean. Erin mclaughlin joins us now from perth. Whens the latest for us at this hour . Reporter hi, this is a really critical few next few days in this search operation. Theyre looking at the place which basically representing their best guess to find the black box based on exhaustive analysis of that those acoustics detections, the second in particular picked up american operated towed pinger locater. It was the stronger of the four. So what theyre doing now is theyre searching a sixmile radius around that point. And Officials Say that as of this morning, there are about two thirds of the way through searching this narrowed search area, not clear how much ground to be able to cover so far today and australian Officials Saying that they expect to have completed this area within the next week. At that point, theyll stop and assess. Now, timetable is dependent on a number of factors. The first being that the fact that the bluefin21 continues to operate as expected and then the second being the weather. Now, there is a cyclone called jack north of the search field currently making the way down south. They feel that it will have dissipating, forecasters say, by the time it reaches the current search area and certainly may be a factor. Some of the wind and rain going forward. Well, we know the wind and rain really can hamper the efforts there. This is a pretty for aly area of the sea to begin with. Erin, thank you for the latest on the search efforts. Our aviation experts are standing by and going to answer your questions about this ongoing search for flight 370 a little later this hour. Dont forget to dweet a question with 370qs. Dont forget to look us up on facebook, as well. Want to check some other head lines for you at this hour. In yemen, al qaeda is under attack. At least 30 militants have been killed in strikes across a Mountain Ridge in southern yemen. This comes after a drone strike saturday and at least 13 people were killed. A yemeni official said it was a joint u. S. Gemmeni operation. U. S. Officials do not comment on drone strikes. Vice President Biden landed in ukraine. It is a country on edge after a weekend of deadly violence. In eastern you krahn, protesters say six people were killed at a barricade in a shootout sunday. A deal to resolve the crisis is largely being ignored by prorussian supporters refusing to lay down the arms. Thousands of Russian Troops remain near the border. The fbis looking into a teenagers claim that he flew from san jose, california all the way to hawaii in the wheel well of a jumbo jet. The 16yearold was found wandering the tarmac in maui dazed and confused. If the story pans out, he would have flown almost five hours at altitudes reaching 38,000 feet without oxygen and under subzero temperatures. That has some experts doubting the story. Officials say Surveillance Video in san jose shows the and the walking toward the jet and video at the maui airport shows him crawling out of the planes gear area. A live report coming up for you with more on the mystery of san jose coming up later this hour. Right now, a break. Ahead at this hour, anger, outrage and now criminal charges for the ferry captain and some of the crew members. The captain could face up to life in prison if he is found guilty. Why did he leave the passengers behind . The was a truly amazing day. Without angies list, i dont know if we could have found all the services we needed for our riley. For over 18 years weve helped people take care of the things that matter most. Join today at angieslist. Com [ female announcer ] we eased your back pain, you turned up the fun. Tylenol® provides strong pain relief while being gentle on your stomach. But for everything we do, we know you do so much more. Tylenol®. Translator finding survivors is the strong desire of the whole nation. Our position is the same as the missing peoples family. Were all volunteers. Were in the same position. We cry every day and search for the missing people. I cry whenever i think about it. Thats one of the many volunteer diver that is are searching in that cold, murky water off the coast of south korea. Theres very, very low visibility but theyre desperately trying to find survivors of that ferry disaster. It is absolutely heartbreaking and disturbing questions emerging from the tragic story. Why did the captain leave the ship as the ferry started to sink and why wasnt he at the helm in the first place . Im joined by rod sullivan, a maritime lawyer and professor. Really a pleasure. Thank you. Talk about the charges first of all the captain is facing, negligence, Bodily Injury resulting in death and defending the orders saying the current is too strong and no rescue boats were nearby. Does this captain have any defense for his actions . Well, you have to look at a couple of different charges. First of all, korea is one of the few countries that has a code that requires the captain to stay on board the vessel until all the passengers are off so under the korean seamans code he will be found responsible for getting off the ship before the passengers. But that particular charge only carries it with a 5,000 fine. The more serious charges are failing to render immediate assistance to the passengers which can carry with it five years and then negligent homicide which can carry a sentence of life. Does he have any defenses . The answer is, yes, he has some defenses, though. In the light of many maritime tragedies in the past, for instance the exxon valdez or the summit venture which hit the Sunshine Skyway bridge, they have been charged but freed from criminal responsibility for the actions so in the heat of today, we all feel like these ships officers and the call tin are criminally responsible and maybe when the charges finally come before the courts, may not be found to be so. And i guess theres a separate question of civil charges if theres a civil suit, as well. Talk about the crew members. Several of them are charged, what kind of charges could they be facing . Look at what the crew members said. The third mate on watch, 26yearold licensed officer, says that the steering gear failed causing the rutter to go hard over and her story is backed up by the helmsman. Theres a mechanical failure that caused the vessel to list to one side, you cant hold them responsible for the actions. Now with regard to the captain go ahead. The captain in my opinion, the captain made a very bad area here. Only 30 minutes between the time that the first steering gear failure happened and the time when the deck was tilted to 50 degrees. Now, at 50 degrees, its really not possible for anybody to climb without hand holds or without a place to grip up the deck of a ship and escape. By delaying the passengers and putting on their lifeboats and getting outside, he really caused their death. Was this a reasonable action to take . I think perhaps while the ship had initially lurched over to one side it was possible that that was a good move and once it was determined that the vessel was going to continue listing further to one side, it was no longer then a reasonable thing to do. If those people had a chance to get out of the boat, they might have stood a fighting chance. Rod sullivan, thank you to you for joining us at this hour. We appreciate your expertise. Ahead at this hour, drone attacks. Al qaeda militants just days after they were caught on video rallying, speak to a navy s. E. A. L. And a former cia agent about the situation in yemen. Vo davids heart attack didnt come with a warning. Today his doctor has him on a bayer aspirin regimen to help reduce the risk of another one. If youve had a heart attack be sure to talk to your doctor before you begin an aspirin regimen. Welcome back to this hour. At least 30 al qaeda militants have been killed in yemen. This ongoing offensive started with a weekend drone strike that killed at least 13 people including 10 suspected al qaeda militants. Want to invite to the show, robert baur, he was a case officer for the cia and our National Security analyst. He is in california. He is a former navy s. E. A. L. Joining us from cleveland. Bob, first to you, lets talk about the connection between these strikes and the emergence of the video of a large gathering of al qaeda in yemen. Connection between those two things . I think the Yemeni Government is clearly been embarrassed by this meeting. Right in the center of its country. It had been pretending that it had conquered al qaeda problem. In fact, it hadnt and this is the reaction and allegations that it sent the army into the tribal areas to take care of it. So i think theres a direct connection, yes. Chris, lets turn to you. The white house we know their policy is to not talk about drone strikes. Yemen is a highlevel Yemeni Government official saying this was a joint mission with the u. S. Who is behind it . I would tend to believe the yemeni official. We dont publicize the bulk of the drone strikes but the Obama Administration has pulled the trger on drone strikes many more times than the Bush Administration has done. Obama has sent some drones to some targets. That is an undisputed fact so this is yemeni pow wow was a very big deal. It was al qaedas overt message to the world, hey, we are alive and well and thriving and we are doing it in yemen and a slap in the face to them and the u. S. Government. So but you know we are tight lipped with the predator drone usage and it is a fact obama pulled the trigger many more times than the Bush Administration. There is certainly blus we are the video and raised concern about al qaeda in yemen, the presence and their might in the region. So boldly kind of gathering with very little concern seemingly of an air strike or another attack. Do you think the mission over the weekend stems that concern . I do. I do. You know, when al qaeda has an agenda just like u. S. Special Operations Command does, just like the department of defense does and nato. This is part recruiting video, part slap in the face. It does many things for lake. It emboldens them, helps them to recruit people into the fold so, you know, they know what theyre doing on a world scale. Bob, we know that the strikes destroyed the Training Facility as well as killing a number of militants. Talk to us about the continuing threat that this terror group al qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula poses to the u. S. And other countries. Well, i think its a significant threat. We know that al qaeda in yemen is capable of building airplane bombs. These can be snuck through most security systems, use an explosive. Its they can hide it in any sort of common powder like ink powder and so they can hit us when and where they want. It is clear that they have a rear base there to operate at will. They have learned to go off cell phones. Intelligence collection is almost impossible. Even the yellini government and i worked with in the past cant hit the tribal areas. They can hit back but who are they hitting . It is really a morass for intelligence gathering. Do you think theres retaliation . Absolutely. They havent nairobi last year. They want to do it again. This propaganda tape urging the followers in europe, the united states, everywhere, to hit us. I think theyll make an attempt. Next 12 months, its hard to say.
