Further, he violated the fundamental winter survival principle of staying with your vehicle while awaiting assistance. This was certainly a tragedy, a tragic demonstration of hubris not heroism. Mr. Kim's prominence does not excuse his foolish behavior. Mr.Kim and his family failed to heed two prominent signs indicating the road he was attempting to take was unsuitable for winter travel.

Today there was a memorial service in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco for the CNet editor. Kati Kim, his widow, thanked the hundreds would attended the event, along with her supporters and the search-and-rescue teams involved. The Kims were the focus of an intense manhunt and international media attention when they failed to arrive home in San Francisco after Thanksgiving.

If the weather had been like it is now (I live in the area), Kim could have walked out of there and hitched a ride in only a few hours. Let this be a lesson to everybody to carry emergency thermal blankets in their car. They only cost a dollar or so and fold up into a cube only a couple of inches in size. My condolences to the Kim family. James was a brave and caring man apparently. Unfortunate that he and his family got caught in a winter snowstorm.

He risked his own life and kept his family as safe as could be, so that he could get help. Honestly, if I was in a similar situation I could only hope I was half the person he was. A good person to the bitter end. I will remember him. The way his life ended was noble. He risked his own life and kept his family as safe as could be, so that he could get help.

Got to my hotel, logged on and fired up RTN and saw the posting. I think I just stood there in shock for 5 minutes. Even though I knew it could happen, I guess when they found his wife and kids I had hope that they would track him down. I feel so bad for him and his family. I also regret that I never got to work with him. He was respected and a great journalist and what a nice family. Our condolences to his family. This is so sad. I was flying when this was posted.
