Am watching it right now, too.

Did not realize this was going to be a 2-hour special.

"Wrong Turn: The Kati Kim Story"

They showed a photo that James took of Kati and the kids through the window at Denny's -- their last meal before getting stuck.

Interesting to see the reenactment.

Here are some stills on the 20/20 website:

You don't know how it ended?

What's to spoil?

If you're worried about it, stop reading this thread or any others on the Internet that start with: "Kati Kim."

Yes I know how it ended, however I would like to think that there is a lot of info being told that we all were not privy during the situation and afterwards and it would be nice to hear and see it all later tonight when the show airs instead of piecemeal details here.

Unfortunately, we're not all on west coast time.

Stop reading.

I was not impressed either - a rather sensationalistic, slow paced and repetitious accounting; I didn't last past the first hour. But, if I understood it right, this was not a case of "death by GPS;" Ms Kim misinterpreted the road map.

Well yes but James apparently turned off that Coast road onto a logging road where they eventually got stuck.

Such a waste of life. James walked 16miles and ended up just 2miles from where he started (as the crow flies).

Viewer comments at the 20/20 website. Interesting because I don't think most of those commenting have been dissecting the Kim story for the past four years as so many of us have. They are mostly disparaging of the Kims for putting their children in harm's way.

http://abcnews.go.com/2020/comments?type=story&id=12884927


I'm disappointed that 20/20 did not devote at least the last 5 minutes of the show to educating viewers on carrying survival kits in their vehicles as well as the basic tenants of survival (shelter, water, food). And they should have added a section to their website for viewers to learn more about being equipped to survive.

And I just noticed that ABC did not produce the documentary -- they bought it from an outfit called "Firecracker Films" that is based in London.
