这段说他们是怎么走丢的. 带着两个这么小的孩子冰天雪地坚持这么多天本身就是奇迹. 他好象还是很有野外经验的.
The family's ordeal began when they missed a Highway 42 exit from Interstate 5. They had eaten dinner in Roseburg, Ore., and were trying to make it over the mountains to the coastal town of Gold Beach where they planned to stay the night, Kati Kim told authorities after her rescue. Looking at an Oregon map, they decided to take Bear Camp Road out of Grants Pass instead. The road is primarily used in the summer by rafters on the Rogue River. The route isn't plowed in the winter.
When snow started to fall as they climbed to 3,000 feet, the car was having traction problems on the slick pavement, authorities have said. The road was too narrow to turn around, so Kim backed down until he reached a side road, and took it. The station wagon became stuck in a snow bank at one point and Kim used most of the remaining gas to get out of it. He traveled an additional 15 miles or so before intentionally stopping at a fork in the road where they hoped to be spotted.
They used the car heater at night, until the car ran out of gas. Kim burned the car's tires during the day for warmth and gathered berries. They finished all the food left in the car and Kati Kim nursed both children to keep them alive.
After seven days, James Kim set out on foot. On the ninth day, his family was found after a volunteer detected pings from the Kims' cell phone from a nearby cell tower, which considerably narrowed the search area. A private helicopter hired by Spencer Kim found mother and children Monday afternoon. Kati Kim was out of the vehicle with the children, walking away from it and waving an umbrella with reflecting tape on the top spelling S-O-S.
