(In case you're not familiar with what happened to James Kim and his family, see this entry on my personal blog.)
That's the news according to CNET and the JamesAndKati.com site. We at Global Nerdy deepest condolences to the Kims and their family and friends.
Their families have spent a lot of money on the rescue effort, and there's the matter of a funeral and helping Kati and the kids back on their feet. If you've got a little money (and some Christmas spirit) to spare, please consider making a donation at the JamesAndKati.com site.
