i dunno if you were keeping up with the whole james kim story... mainstream media didn't really cover it until the wife and kids were found -- but it was all over digg... the reason: he's a tech geek like all of us and they were all trying to show their support in finding him safe
unfortunately, the story didn't turn out like a hollywood movie -- he was found dead yesterday...
there were a lot of intriguing stories involved with this: how they survived in the car, james' decision to leave the car to search for help, his dad renting a helicopter to search the area...
check this out, it's unbelievable [map layout] -- i'm just looking at his path and i'm speechless... if he had chosen the other path, he woulda hit the black bar lodge and gotten help! instead, he went down another path and into the valley (page 3 really shows the distance between he and the car)
"pants found" and "clothing found" -- initially, it was thought that he was leaving markers for people to find him. now there's another thought that he was actually feeling extreme hypothermia and was removing his own clothing because he was actually feeling hot.
it would have made a great story of survival...
