I often watched Mr. Kim covering the computer industry on CNET. I recall following the search for his family as it unfolded, ultimately ending in his death.

You might question any number of their decisions including his last one to leave the car in search for help. Ultimately, it may have been foolhardy, but I feel like he was brave in trying to seek rescue for his family in the end.

If nothing else, I became a reader of sites such as ETS, in the wake of this. I prepared emergency kits for myself and for my family members. Like Glock-A-Roo said, if nothing else, we can learn from their experience. Hopefully, that means the lessons of their tragedy may save another life someday.
