Kati Kim�s story of survival as well as the tragic death of husband 20/20

Kati Kim was on 20/20 Friday night, giving the details of her family ordeal after she and her husband James, along with their children, were stranded in a snow storm in 2006. In a 20/20 special, Kati Kim told her story, five years after the tragedy.

Kati Kim�s story of survival as well as the tragic death of husband James Kim is just heartbreaking!

On November 17, 2006 Kati and James Kim, along with their two young daughters Sabine and Penelope went on a trip that turned into a nightmare. The family left San Francisco for a weekend road trip but after a series of wrong turns, the Kim family got lost in the Oregon wilderness.

After getting lost and the snow started coming down, the Kims parked their car and ate their remaining packed food. After seven nights stuck in the wilderness, in deep snow, the family had lost all hope. Their gas was gone and the food ran out. Kati started breastfeeding Sabine and Penelope to keep them alive.

After seven days, James agreed to leave the car and start hiking for help. James died while trying to find help for his family and Kati and the children would be rescued safely.

This interview was hard to watch because my heart just broke for Kati Kim and her family. What an awful tragedy.
