Kati Kim, will tell her story of survival in southern Oregon wilderness on ABC's '20/20' next month | OregonLive.com

This was the incident where the family got stuck, father eventually tried to self-rescue and died, family rescued shortly after he departed for help.

This will definitely be interesting. I've driven just a little bit of the road they set out on after turning off I-5 and it's amazing to me to think they thought it was a main road.

The thing to remember when watching and reading such accounts is the lens through which you are viewing it and their recollections and assessments, both from those involved and those putting the story together for the audience.

I will certainly watch this and I think especially for those that have joined this forum since that occurred in 2006, it would be informative as it is reference fairly often in our threads.

Thanks for the heads-up, Doug. I'll definitely tune in.

I'm from Hood River, Oregon and was riveted by that situation as it unfolded.

Kudos to Kati Kim for speaking out, hopefully the recounting will save lives in the future.

Everything is different depending upon which seat you occupy ... Even with the possibility of flawed memories, it will be good to hear the first hand views of Kati Kim rather than the presumptuous views of folks who weren't there.

The comments and Kati Kim's responses in the Oregon Live article are a very good read.

The Oregon Live article is indeed good.

There's also a fair amount about this incident in Wikipedia here:

I'll be looking forward to her account. My heart still bleeds for her and her children for the tragic, needless loss of a husband and father. Hopefully his loss will at least teach people a lesson that may save another life.

I hope the focus of the documentary will be on that this was a preventable tragedy resulting from a multitude of errors leading to the predicament and then a lack of supplies that should have been in the vehicle.
