Just heard on CNN Headline News he was found. Rescue personal saw flashing object and found him. No word of his condition.
Well said.
I think you've phrased this the best I've seen.
LOL, says the 7 month poster. Thanks for the laugh.
Thanks for the very sad ping.
Terri Irwin knows how Kati is feeling.
Hopefully someone will give you a clue, because it is obvious you haven't one.
Yes very sad.......I'm sure he was a wonderful father and husband.
His family will always know that he was a hero to them.....trying to save them to the bitter end. God rest his soul.
Howlin..... I just don't know. The last vision his wife had of him was a desparate man heading into the unknown in an effort to save her and their children. I honestly pray that no one on this forum is ever confronted with such decisions. Some people are so simple, so jaded. So sad.
There are more, and many clues have been given.
Where do all these "holier than thou" people come from?
You know what? I was just telling my son today that the people on FR are not the same as they were when we started years ago.
There are some real kooks here now. Sad.
How churdish to sit in judgement of a man who died while merely trying to survive.
Who cares what you think anyway?
I'm sure he would have been very pleased if you had gotten out there to save him - but no, you did not. Why didn't you go find him?
Seems far worse that you did not even try to go save him than the fact that he died because he could not find help before his body died.
"Are urban people that naive and not able to understand such basic survival skills?"
Many of us reading this thread would never endanger our families like this guy did, we carry cold weather supplies when we pass through the mountains, and in most cases we carry some all year.
My bet is that every one of us that has brought up preparation in social circles, has been mocked as some of the group called them nutty and paranoid.
It sounds like this stranger died like a man, but why o why did he almost kill his family by ignoring basic preparations.
There are also rude oldtimers.
That's why so many people don't even bother to post anymore.
I was hoping and praying for Mr. Kim to be found alive; this is a heartbreaking outcome for his family and friends. I am thankful that his wife and two daughters were found alive. The conditions under which they survived, are more than most of us can probably imagine.
How terribly sad. The family will be in my prayers.
Well, you now have your plan of action ready. Leave other people to their own decisions and quit trying to appear far smarter than this man.
Survival is a very personal decision and I doubt that he sat and pondered what you would have done.
Great news..thanks for the update, Howlin.
