Steve Irwin Killed

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

They have now asked that it not be shown.

 

[Erich]

well you can easily see why they wouldn't but this day and age anything and all things are shown ..........

his wife is actually from Oregon in Eugene about 125 miles north of me.

the guy I think had a few brain cells jogged but loved the work he did till he died

 

[Matt308]

Okay. So get's his wife?

Very very sad news I loved to watch his shows, just what you needed if you were having a bad day, watch him for a while and you were better already, such a lively spirit he was. But like some of you have mentioned, he was sometimes toying with his life, and if you keep on doing that things like this will most likely happen - despite this I was still shocked by the news however, cause I essentially considered the guy immortal, and then it was a stingray of all things ! These aren't even supposed to be capable of killing you ! (Reminds me of the Archilles tale)

I can't help but think of his family either, how they're feeling through all this, its truly heartbreaking

But to cut a long story short, he will be missed, by me as-well. May he rest in peace

I read somewhere that he pulled the barb out of his chest before he died - this probably didn't help his survival by allowing bleeding. There is also the video of the event but it hasn't (and won't) be shown.

It was only a matter of time I suppose.

PS: Fireball XL-5 was also the bomb! I play the ending theme on a CD when I fly!!!

 

[FLYBOYJ]

It's not the parachute ride it's the landing that's the tricky bit. I hear there is a tree magnet in a lot of ejector seat parachutes.

i've heard the family have given permission for it to be shown as they feel it's what he would've wanted, in the same way the family have turned down the offer of a big official funeral.........

and similar to the picture, one of my friend's msn names- "Asked his favourite TV show as a kid Steve Irwin replied Thunderbirds, but Stingray always had a place in his heart"

 

[cheddar cheese]

Haha, I too was wondering how long before some Stingray quips emerged Funny as...

 

[Allison Johnson]

I hope i never find out!!!!

If you ever do just remember it's the yellow and black one.
