Sucks! They almost got to him in time. God bless him and his family and those who worked endlessly to find them all.

As with all tragedies there is a lesson to be gleemed. Lesson learned: Send wife for help.
Sorry couldn't resist.  |

I was also anticipating a happy ending, sad to find out the opposite.
Note to self:
Burn spare tire, then each of the remaing tires for following days.

Ever watch that show in DSC - "I shouldn't be alive." Same scenario but in the African bush - plane crashes, 3 seriously wounded/critical condition. After 3 smoldering hot days, 2 guys leave the plane crash site. Find an elephant trail - they ended up walkking 60 miles but they were zig zagging miles (i.e, pretty much walking in circles). 2 guys came to fork in road, one guy goes let's go right. Soon enough they found a hunting lodge and called for help. Search crews were not even looking in their general area and would not of found them. If they went left they would of all been dead. If they didn't try to find help they would of all died too. Who knows? Anyway, great show AND it's really sad about the husband! Prayers are with the family.

Now that the story is more clear it's pretty sad. Here's a DAD doing what we all think we would do in the same situation...
He's an unsung hero to fatherhood.
