Who is James Kim?

someone need to slow down on the bf2 game don't you think?


my prays goes out to the Kim family too....very sad story , the good thing came out of this sad story is  the wife and 2 young kids are safe....

yea, amazing the children survived without injury

From what I heard on the news, their mother breastfed them.  I'm not sure of their ages.
EDIT: Reread the link, one was 4 and after they ran out of food the mother breastfed the 4 year old and the younger one.

no that is correct

I hope he had life insurance so his wife will be able to take care of the kids without having to work.  I couldn't imagine losing my wife and having to send the kids to daycare because I had to work.
EDIT: Why is this in the Junk Drawer?  This is rather serious.

He shouldn't have left the car.  Survival 101 says that you always stay put when lost.  But it's still terrible that he had to die, and my deepest condolences for his family.

I was thinking the same thing.  It's doubly painful that he could have been found just as the rest of the family had.  Very sad.

While I don't disagree, you have to wonder what one's train of thought turns to after being stuck there for a week.
It's a horrible feeling knowing he died without knowing that his family had been saved, or were going to be saved.

google images layout of the route he took

The real tragedy is this could have been prevented by reading clearly posted signs that say "Pass not crossable in winter." only to continue following a map printed online.

Every person in my state knows there are roads you do not go over in the winter. That is one of them. Obviously he wasn't from the state, but buy a local map. Spend the 2$ for something that's going to accurately depict the state you are crossing.


Yes it's a tragedy.. yes it's sad.. yes he died honorably.. no question.

Was it a stupid mistake that could have easily been prevented? Most certainly. And the real tragedy is his wife and kids will have to live on knowing that.

What a tragedy.

Indeed, that pretty much fucked him . Also what JE3146 said about not following the local advice. This is sad in every way you try to look at it .

Stop playing games all day and read some news for once.  This story topped the Iraq in all the United States news outlets.

As I had already pointed out, Rygar repeated, and I will now restate, just to make it absolutely clear - Some of us do not live in the United States of America. Please remember that when we ask "Who?". Sad as it is, this incident hasn't, to my knowledge been widely reported outside of said country.

yeah, thats like pretty close to where I live, it's been on the news all day every day for the last couple days, its getting kind of sick..

From the aerial map it looks like he walked in a big semi circle of about eight miles. He was found about 1.5 miles from the car he started at.

How many of us carry emergency blankets/flares and food/water like tuna kits and baby food in our cars?

Not many. He was no dummy. It could happen to anyone stubborn enough to not turn back after 15 miles of mountain road.

condolences

I kinda knew he didn't make it though when I first heard of it though. It was first announced by news 'that a mother and her 2 kids survived one week in the wilderness' and that she breastfed them to keep them alive. Then they ended the news that they were still looking for the father.

To all the assholes who started getting angry at people who didn't know who this guy was: Fuck you, you fucking hypocrites. Have no right to yell at people for not knowing who he was, fucking emos.


P.s: R.I.P, such an unfortunate way to go. Really makes you think...

To all the assholes who post in threads without so much as a simple Google search about the subject and then who get upset by the flak they receive; don't be a tard.

You are to be forgiven because you are across the pond for not knowing who he is. Google is your friend.
