That's not fair unless you equate human error to poor choice. After
missing his turn James Kim accidentally drove up a road that is usually
closed in winter. I say accidentally because it has since emerged that
vandals cut the chains to the gates. And after 9 days of sitting in the
wilderness with your gas gone, tires burned, an infant and child
suckling from their mother, I'd offer that most of us would have made
that attempt to walk out for help. Had he survived long enough to go
one more mile there was food and shelter to last them the whole winter.
Very sad.
