Sadness fills my heart

All my thoughts and prayers go out to the Kim family tonight. I am just so sad that James didn't make it. I understand that his tracks help lead searchers to the car~ He truly is a hero. I only know the family from following their story but my heart goes out to them on this very difficult day.

With a heavy heart,

Kim Magaña in Lynnwood Wa.

A Terrible Loss...

Let me add my voice to the others in expressing my heartfelt sorrow at the
tragic death of James. So young, leaving a loving wife and daughters. But he
died in the manner of a true hero, courageously trying to save his family. My
thoughts and prayers are with cnet, and James' family.

An Unlikely Tragedy

The tragedy of James Kim's death from hypothermia was highly unlikely, and the result, apparently, of the confluence of several untoward events. First, there was the vandalism of the warning sign, which would have prevented the Kims from using a dangerous road. Second, there was a lack of understanding of hypothermia, of which I am now aware at a late stage in life. Third, there was no provision for an extended foray into the frigid wilderness.

Few people would have been prepared; for few could have foreseen such a situation. The Kim's were unusually resourceful and prepared, which saved three lives. Yet, some additional clothing, and or blankets, might have resulted in a different ending.

It is hoped that this tragic outcome will spur others to prepare better for an unexpected confrontation with unforgiving nature. Soon, there will be stories of survival, or not, when people have been stranded in very hot weather, without sufficient water, or shade. Perhaps a very few will better prepare for unintended consequences. Let us hope so.
