I sure hope he's alive AND that they find him.
The back-story though, I am wondering how their brakes failed. I wonder if they just rode the brake pedal all the way down from Tioga Pass. That would overheat and boil brakes on lots of vehicles. Being they are from far away, they had probably never experienced down grades like that. People need to know: You ALWAYS downshift, and descend those grades in lower gears. If you have to ride the brake pedal, you're in the wrong gear!!!
