trouble and just had to bail out before his plane crashed and burned. >> wasn't hurt a bit. i may have a couple bruises on my shins. >> what he's saying this morning about his brush with death. good morning, everybody. also coming up this morning, drivers around kansas city are breathing a lot easier this morning. police say they have in custody, the highway sniper who has been terrorizing drivers. there he is. now, we're going to hear from the man's family. were there any signs here? >> we're going to gio benitez live in kansas city, later in the show. also ahead, on a lighter note, the royal family wowing crowds down under. prince william and kate are in brisbane where thousands lined the streets to catch a glimpse of the famous couple. plus, they're calling her cockpit kate this morning. the duchess getting behind the controls of a fighter jet. i'll bet she even did it in heels. >> she's wearing a fancy dress. >> really wowing the crowd down there. we're going to begin with the tragedy on top of the world. an avalanche that killed at least 13 guides on mt. everest has closed the peak down. three other guides are still missing this morning. a massive search for them is on for them during the busy climbing season. and abc's linzie janis is here with the latest. >> reporter: good morning. rescuers are working as quickly as they possibly can and hope that weather conditions don't deteriorate. they pulled a 13th body from the snow and ice just this morning. the sherpa guides were the first making their way up this climbing season, carving routes through the ice and fixing ropes for their foreign clients. this morning, the desperate search continues for three, missing climbers in the single deadliest disaster ever on mt. everest. at least 13 people killed, all of them guides, known as sherpas. the experts who risk their lives who help others conquering everest, were at an elevation of 19,000 feet when the avalanche hit. >> the sherpas are more at risk because how often they're carrying and going through the ice wall in this particular area. >> reporter: helicopters and rescuers carried the injured to the base of the mountain. this woman, relieved to find her brother at hospital, said he had woken up early to help lay rope for other climbers when the avalanche hit and buried many of them. the deadly active nature is devastating for the climbing community. hundreds of tourists from around the world come to take on the world's highest mountain. our colleague from wabc, diana williams, was at a nearby base camp when the avalanche hit. >> most of the teams will carry a radio with them. immediately after this happened, there were folks coming down from camp 1, above them to help with the rescue, and people coming up from base camp to help with the rescue, as well. >> reporter: this morning, the injured climbers remain in the hospital. more than 4,000 people have scaled the top of everest, since it was first climbed by sir edmund hillary and tenzing norgay in 1953. the route they took is the same one hit by this avalanche. right now, hundreds of climbers, guides and support crews are at base camp, preparing to climb the 29,035-foot peak, as soon as weather conditions are more favorable next month. this has been the deadliest disaster on everest. before that, it was 1996 when eight climbers died in a fierce blizzard. very dangerous work for these sherpas. >> you take it for granted until a tragedy like this happened. >> reporter: 200 people have died trying to climb everest. >> and they're going to push ahead on this one, despite the disaster. >> they are. >> thank you, linzie. back in this country, we are learning about the guy arrested for a spring of highway shootings that terrorized people in and around kansas city. he's been held on $1 million bail. and his family is speaking out. abc's gio benitez is on the story. gio, good morning. >> reporter: hey, dan. good morning to you. this is the highway where so many of those cars were shot at. right now, investigators say they have the right suspect behind bars. take a look. this morning, as mohammed whitaker sits in a jail cell, his family is speaking out about accusations that the 27-year-old is the man behind a terrifying shooting spree along kansas city's highways. >> seemed like he was the type of kid that would get excited over many things. >> reporter: the city has been terrorized after a month-long ordeal. 20 cars shot and 3 people injured. whitaker has been charged for some of those shootings. 18 felonies so far. a task force, including local police, the fbi and atf, ended a ten-day manhunt, with whitaker's arrest. now, police say residents of kansas city can drive without fear. tom mcfarlin, one of the first victims, now telling us about how much worse it could have been. so, your son normally sits right here. you see the bullet hole right on that door. immediately, you thought, oh, my gosh. this could have been him. >> yeah. absolutely. it's more nerve-racking because i could have almost dealt with this being a one-time, crazy, random thing. when it turns out to be a serial highway shooter, it's a lot scarier. >> reporter: whitaker was arrested from his own home just five miles away from the epicenter of the violent spree. investigators say tips from the public played a crucial role in ending the nightmarish rampage before the worst-case scenario. >> this case is a prime example of the positive results that come from a community joining forces against crime. >> reporter: whitaker's license plate was reported when a woman spotted a man wearing a hoodie and mask in 70-degree weather. authorities say whitaker's prints were found on a walmart bag filled with ammo boxes. pointed out by another vigilant citizen. and this morning here in kansas city, so many people asking why. why were all those cars shot at? right now, police have not released any possible motives just yet. bianna? >> all right, gio. our thanks to you. we're going to turn to the latest on the ferry disaster in south korea. the confirmed death toll is 32, with about 270 others, most of them teenagers, missing. hope is fading fast this morning that any survivors will be found. the captain who abandoned ship is now under arrest. and we're learning more about the final hours of the voyage and who was actually steering the ship. abc's gloria riviera is live from south korea. good morning, gloria. >> reporter: good morning, bianna. that's right. maritime safety officials say they were in touch with the ship as the disaster unfolded. and their recommendation was for evacuation orders to be given just five minutes after that first distress call went out. but for reasons that are still unclear, the captain did not issue those orders for 30 minutes. this morning, for the first time, new details on what happened on the ship's bridge during the ferry's final two hours. a shocking revelation. in charges by south korean senior prosecutor, that the 25-year-old third mate was at the helm for the very first time. steering the ship through clusters of islands, known as a tricky, treacherous area, with rough currents. captain lee joon-seok, arrested on suspicion of negligence and abandoning people in need, said he was in his bedroom at the fateful moment when the accident happened. at least two other crew, also in custody. search and rescue teams are dealing with rough seas and dwindling time. we're on the dock with so many of the divers that are getting ready to get out there and they hope get in the water. they say some of them, yesterday, they weren't able to do any dives at all because of weather conditions. it is beginning of day four. they say today should be better. every hour that passes, bringing more heartache and deepening fear for the waiting families. this shelter is also a vigil where they watch for news. the worst kind of news came when it was confirmed a diver spotted three bodies in the ship but couldn't get them out. the rescue effort continues, focusing on the crowded cafeteria, where it is feared so many were trapped. with so many relatives so desperate for this search to be nonstop, the coast guard tells us this evening, they plan on lighting 880 powerful flares to light up the sky so they can keep searching. dan? bianna? >> they continue their work in what has been described as the worst disaster in south korean history. gloria, thank you for your reporting. a lot of other news overnight. and as always, we check the morning headlines with ron claiborne. good morning, sir. >> good morning, dan harris and bianna golodryga. we begin with panic at the office at the headquarter of "the los angeles times." a worker for the communication company that leases space inside "the l.a. times" building allegedly told a co-worker he had a gun and something bad was going to happen. when the frightened worker sent a text message to colleagues, it triggered a chaotic scene, as they rush out of that building. police surrounded the building and put it in lockdown. the suspect was arrested without incident. no gun was found in that case. and a suspected security threat aboard a delta airlines flight from detroit to denver. a flight attendant reportedly found a handwritten note referring to a bombing. this happened on friday. when the plane landed at denver, as scheduled, it taxied to a remote part of the airport, where it was met by fbi agents and police. everybody aboard that flight was rescreened and their luggage checked. but nothing was found. the fbi said it did not believe that the threat was credible. but followed standard security procedures. and a raging fire destroyed three oceanfront homes on the new jersey shore. windy conditions hampered efforts by firefighters who came from nearby towns to get that blaze under control. no word on what caused friday's fire. it happened in the town of sea isle. there were no reports, though, of any injuries. and christians across the globe are marking holy saturday, a day of waiting and reflection, on the eve of easter. pope francis presided over a torch-lit way of the cross procession at the coliseum on good friday. it happened in rome, where the coliseum is. tens of thousands of pilgrims came to commemorate the crucifixion of jesus christ. earlier friday, the pontiff laid facedown in prayer in front of the vatican altar. and look out. watch as this semi struck in iowa, crosses the median. you see it there, veering off the road. the truck's driver was apparently distracted and lost control of his vehicle when he reached for a pen. somehow he slipped by the oncoming traffic and slipped off the road without hitting or being hit by anyone. that's amazing. our next story is from the check this out file. this woman, you see her there. she is buying a lottery ticket. she hears a noise. that was a pickup truck that came flying through the window and crashing into the store. she is pinned against the wall. incredibly, as dan harris would say, incredibly, she suffered only minor injuries. that's pretty amazing. that qualifies as incredible. >> and winning some kind of lottery. >> how about that? witnesses say the pickup truck hit two other vehicles in the intersection and careened into the store there. amazing she was not more critically injured there. and finally, a golf tournament in malaysia is creating quite a buzz literally. watch as spain's pablo larrazabal is pursued by a swarm of hornets. can't actually see the hornets. but they are really there. the pro golfer went sprinting and swatting and jumped into the water after being stung 20 times. he dried off, continued and amazingly, this guy birdied that hole. 1 under par. i have a hard enough time getting birdies when i'm not being attacked by hornets. >> yeah. >> quite an achievement. >> professional. jumped in the water. >> stung 20 times. >> that is impressive. >> thank you, ron. now, to the pilot whose quick thinking ended up saving his life. he did end up tangling from a tree. and yes, his plane is reduced to charred wreckage. but he is alive to talk about it. and abc's michelle franzen is on the story. good morning to you. >> reporter: well, good morning to you. that's right. that fiery crash in vermont could have been worse and deadly. police say no one was driving on the stretch of highway when the aircraft went down. and the pilot bailed before the crash. a split-second move that saved his life. >> the plane is crashed on the interstate. >> reporter: this morning, daniel marcotte is thankful to be alive. >> it's unfortunate. and my family's fortunate that i'm here. >> reporter: this mangled, charred mess is all that's left of the single-engine plane that crashed on to a highway friday afternoon. state police say initial reports indicate the plane was fully engulfed in flames when it slammed on to highway i-89 near burlington, vermont. >> everything was running good. and then, there was a loud explosion. there were parts and pieces, went through the canopy, ripping the canopy off of the airplane. something broke and interfered with the controls of the airplane. >> reporter: it's hard to believe someone survived this flaming wreckage. but marcotte says he was able to parachute out just before the crash, landing within a mile of the plane. >> he is not hurt. but he's stuck in a tree. >> reporter: look at him, dangling in the tree, seen in this photo captured by a witness. escaping with only minor injuries. >> wasn't hurt a bit. i may have a couple bruises on my shins. >> reporter: the investigation is ongoing, as to just what caused this fiery crash. >> pretty lucky no one else was injured. >> reporter: marcotte, who works as an aircraft mechanic, has been flying for more than ten years. doubling as a sky-high performer in air shows. this aviator's mind, going into autopilot mode in those tense moments. >> most of us in the industry, do expect that something like this would happen. so, we prepare for it. >> reporter: this incident, not deterring marcotte. he's planning on getting back into the cockpit, as soon as he can get a replacement plane. the pilot says as many risks as he takes, safety is also a priority. and all his training, he says, paid off. meanwhile, the faa, of course, is just getting started to find out the real cause of this accident. >> michelle asks the deep questions, too. would you rather be the pilot of that plane or the golfer attacked by hornets? i don't know what the answer is. >> i think the golfer. >> i think the feet are planted on the ground. >> reporter: i can dangle from a tree for a while. i don't want to get stung. >> we have a difference of opinion on the desk this morning. >> we will never try it out. >> we'll continue this conversation online at abcnews.com. >> weigh in, folks. let us know what you think. something a lot of people at home are talking about this morning. the royal couple on the road down under. almost halfway through their australian tour. and prince william and kate being welcomed by adoring crowds today in the appropriately named state of queensland. the duke and duchess of cambridge, captivating tens of thousands on day four of their ten-day tour down under. the duchess dazzling in a poppy print dress by l.k. bennett. the pair spent the day rubbing shoulders with dignitaries and 200 invited guests in a reception fit for royals. this, after touring the royal australian air force base at amberley, where the couple hopped into a fighter jet. kate, right at home in the cockpit, just like her chopper pilot hubby. before planting a tree in honor of veterans. all following a jam-packed day on the stunning beaches on manley on friday. the twosome hung ten with the nippers, a group of junior lifeguards. kate spending 40 minutes in her four-inch wedges, like a "baywatch" babe, pictured running on the sand. william, a bit more overdressed in a blue blazer. firing the starting gun for a race. the crowd of 12,000, presenting the pair with a custom-made surfboard and little swim trunks for prince george. cowabunga. and it was sheer fun at sydney's royal easter show. after admiring animals, art, chocolate and produce, kate told reporters she couldn't keep prince george off her mind. declaring the 8-month-old, who was reportedly staying with his nanny, is a sucker for sweet potatoes. i don't think i heard you say a baby was cute. we talk about animals all the time. but you said he really is cute. >> he really is cute. >> yeah. >> speaking of animals. >> the couple is returning to sydney to reunite with prince george. and tomorrow, the whole family heads to the zoo. they have such a beautiful zoo in sydney. an animal called a bilby will be named after george. it's a marsupial with big ears. >> that's a compliment? are they going to name an anteater after him, too? >> prince william says that's going to be george's first words because he can't say koala. that may be a little more challenging. >> marsupial. >> marsupial. >> quite a kid. it's hard enough to run a marathon. but this morning, you're going to meet some people who are running thousands of miles before they even get to the starting line of monday morning's boston marathon. why are they doing this? and can abc's sara haines keep up with them? the burning questions this morning from sara. >> absolutely not. i cannot keep up with them. but if there was an example of mind over matter, or maybe more accurately, heart over matter, it's exemplified in this group of runners from tennessee, who not only wanted to raise money for those affected by the boston bombings, but deliver it by hand, running all the way. this team of runners from rocky top, tennessee, is shipping up to boston, in support of the survivors of last year's boston marathon bombing. >> the message is unity. the message is from boston to east tennessee, we may talk a little bit different. but we're one. >> reporter: they're showing that solidarity by running nonstop for more than 1,000 miles. from cleveland, tennessee, to boston, massachusetts. 24/7, rain or shine, day and night, they run. >> boston strong. we got two more, big man. >> reporter: describe what you're feeling. >> everything. totally mixed emotions. one minute, i'm in tears. one minute, excited. and nervous. >> reporter: the events of last year, always on their minds. >> i remember being at work when i saw what happened. and the closer i get to boston, the more emotional i get. >> reporter: the way it works is, one member is always running. usually for about six miles at a time, before switching off with 1 of the other 26 runners. that means, by the time they reach boston, they all will have run nearly 50 miles. and they're feeling every one of them. >> i'm not going to lie. we're tired. we're hungry. we haven't slept much. and our legs might be a little sore. but it's nothing compared to what boston felt last year. >> reporter: one member of the team, they call him johnny marathon, is running the equivalent of a marathon each day of the journey. that's before he runs in the actual boston marathon on monday. >> never done anything like this before. this is a new experience for me. >> reporter: but they're having fun, too. i'm going to run with you. how does this go? boston strong. so far, the team has raised more than $60,000 for boston-based charities. all the while, documenting their experience on social media, using the hash tag, #runtoboston. >> we're running together with the entire run now relay team and "good morning america." >> tennessee tough is right. at this moment, the team is between hartford, connecticut, and the massachusetts border. four of the team members, including johnny marathon, are running in the race on monday. and we wish them all the best. what an impressive group of people. >> and you, too. >> i was in sneaker wedges. >> you're all in the group. and you break to run, sara just bolts out to get out in front of everybody. >> that competitive edge. >> we were going for a shot. i knocked two people over in the process. i can't hurt these volunteers. >> and you were stylish in that sweater. >> how far did you run? >> i ran about 20 yards. >> really fast, though. >> those are good yards. >> and they looked good. >> every step of the way. time to check the forecast. cecily tynan from our philadelphia station, wpvi is here this morning. cecily, great to have you back. good morning. >> good morning. it's great to be back. i begin with weather in southern florida. they're getting rocked with strong storms. there's a tornado watch in effect for florida, including miami. wind gusts up to 61 miles per hour, with these storms. tampa bay had some weather. this was the scene. we had wind damage reported. torrential rain. parts of northern florida and alabama, as much as five inches of rain. and this severe weather will be moving out for florida. this low pressure will be moving very slowly, though. the weather will be improving in florida. unfortunately for the carolinas, more wet weather. in fact, gusty winds, rough surf and flooding is expected there. much of the nation, though, temperature-wise, is looking good in dallas. 80 degrees. kansas city, 75. philadelphia, my hometown, a few days ago in the 40s. today, 68. >> i'll have a look at your easter forecast for the easter egg hunts coming up in the next half hour. dan and bianna? >> an important
