[quote:50c41]he finished his Zune review, and this past weekend went for a vacation drive up to the great Pacific Northwest with his wife, Kati, and two daughters, Penelope and the seven-month old Sabine. They never returned.

A few minutes before Saturday's sunset, somewhere on the Gold Coast, James called a hotel clerk to confirm their reservations at a small inn. The innkeeper expected to see them before midnight, after they passed through the coastal range via Highway 38. That road would have eventually brought James to US 101 and then, over the Golden Gate on Sunday. But investigators believe that James and family never made it out of the mountainous pass. Weather reports say it was raining last Saturday, and in the nearby low lying town of Eugene, it would dip to 35 degrees -- roads could have been frosty up in the hills. As of 9am this morning, investigators are searching looking for any trace of the family, or their silver Saab. The car has the license plate "DoeSF," the name of the boutique clothing store Kati and James own together on SF's Lower Haight.[/quote:50c41]

Hope him and his family do show up, loney:

i liked his appearances on techtv, hope all is well.

ya he was really knowledgeable the black dude on attack of the show is okay but I really liked James spots.

wow...theres gonna be a horror movie about this one day

man i miss techtv. g4 or whatever was shit, and now it's hitting a new low; i turned it on and they were giving dating advice? wtf

lol AOTS is the only show I watch on there you cought there 5 minutes sex discussion part, an occasional xplay but they dont have any type of show like screensavers Leo and Pat > *

Don't lie that was your favourite segment. the_finger: beer:

Bet they crashed in a ravine or something like that. In any event, it doesn't look good.

how did he review the zune? maybe the lesson here is don't cross M$?

anyone remember my who's the hottest on techtv thread? lol

i remember someone saying something about computer generated chicks...how dumb is he eh eh eh

I used to live where the article meant he was driving, now I'm not sure if it's exactly what I'm thinking of, but the mountainous pass couldnt be anything other than marin point... those roads were fucking lethal (but beautiful too, I hate colorado) , I was always afraid we would fall off

Leo does basically the same show in toronto now for g4 canada. thats the only good show on that channel though. then they play x-play for 2 straight hours.

These are the roads I was talking about... everyday we'd spend atleast half an hour going to and from home just twisting and turning in these roads.

Beautiful views (I love California, and not this southern california laguna beach oc crap, but real California far outside long beach), but I was pretty fucking scared at times (being 5) that we'd slip right off.

So whats the deal? Those people found or not?

i think it shall be called The Hills Have Eyes... seeing as how they got lost in the middle of nowhere around big hills and mountains

What's so bad about those roads?

There's nothing "bad". It's not like they're notorious... I just found the article interesting b/c I used to live there.

That picture is probably the best I could find though, much of the mountains dont have blockades to keep you from falling off, and when you're going downhill at nighttime where the roads will turn totally out the blue it can get pretty scary.

the wife and 3 kids have been found alive! the dad is still missing though (kim). he went out on search for help.

Mines better

I really hope they find him, I didnt read anywhere what happened to them to begin with.

well thats good news dance:

it doesn't seem too positive. Things get really cold at night and obviously he's spending more and more time without food and water. cry:

They tried to take a shortcut and got stuck in the snow.

slow and steady wins the race....let that be a lesson

holy crap, I saw something about this story a while ago, but it wasn't until now that I realized it was the gadget guy from TechTV...

I hope they find him, it would really suck if he died going for help to save his family when he could have been rescued with them if he had just stayed put...tragic irony

RIP

oh man, that sucks so bad...feel so bad for his wife and kids. i was really holding out hope but man he was out for like a week and a half.

I just saw the story about an hour ago and hadnt found him

loney: loney:

whats worse is him not knowing his family is safe, his last thoughts as he froze to death were probably thinking his family were going to suffer the same.

bless his family.

damn

Suprised they never took a cell phone with them in case of emergencies. loney:

i'd imagine there would be no service out in the forests. who knows..

[quote="Simo Häyhä":049e4]i'd imagine there would be no service out in the forests. who knows..[/quote:049e4]

they had phones , no service out where they were however, it left small traces of area though through their attempts to use it and they were able to locate the general region where the calls were attempted.

nvm

His name was James Kim... His name was James Kim... His name was James Kim... His name was James Kim... His name was James Kim... His name was James Kim...

sad news. rip

Yeah, sucks he didn't make it but in his mind, he was trying to do the right thing for his family.

yeah i couldnt even imagine what was going through his head in his last few hours. probably just worrying about his wife and kids... cry:

RIP man...there's been too much death this month so far...

THIS WHOLE FUCKING YEAR ACTUALLY

2006 sucks total fucking ass.

was it around March when someone new died every day for like 4 weeks?
