Re: Steve Irwin
Your post is a comforting snapshot of the public persona of Steve Irwin we all knew and loved.

Re: Steve Irwin
Feel's like i've lost a friend, i loved watching him on TV and impersonating him with friends around, what am i going to do now? It feel's wrong just thinking about it. He was a great man, at least he died doing what he loved the most, working with wildlife.

Re: Steve Irwin
Indeed sad news to wake up to this morning. He did so much to raise public awareness and changed how conservation centers are developed and managed around the world.
There are a lot of kids out there that found out they lost a 'friend' today.

Re: Steve Irwin
I am not trying to debunk that he did a lot for animals, the environment and conservation but who is this a victory for? His kids who no longer have a father? His widowed wife? Are masses of environmentalists and animal lovers going to rise up due to his martyrdom? Originally Posted by undead77

Re: Steve Irwin
Awww, crikey.
A sad day indeed.
The Croc Hunter brought animal conservation to the forefront of American (if not world) awareness once again. His show on Animal Planet is one of the few TV shows that I actually watch. Some people live their lives to teach kids, some to carry a gun and protect their country, others fix leaky pipes, a few risk their lives flying into outer space. Steve lived to bring all of us closer to animals.
And he lived well... He'll not be forgotten anytime soon.Become a supporting member!

Re: Steve Irwin
It turns out Steve Irwin's death was videotaped. I really hope this doesn't end up YouTube. It would be a disgrace.

Re: Steve Irwin
It is strange how you feel that you know a person when the only place you know him from is on TV. My GF and I just talked about this and it feels like we lost of a friend(albeit not a close one). It's natures strange twist making him fall victim to a creature that normally does not attack humans. Who would have thought that....
My sympathies goes to his family.--

Re: Steve Irwin
It's comforting in a way to see all the reactions people are having to this event. This is a man we might have made joke of last week in fun imitating his speech and behavior. While I know I wouldn't see it here, it suprises me to see the reaction people in general have. In places I'd expect people to make fun of his death I see words of respect and admiration. In places where serious tones are so rare I see the laughter silenced and a pause of thought and sincerity for this great man's passing.
It shows a statement of the man. He made us smile, he taught us, he gave us a chuckle as he gave us so much education. He seemed to act a fool but was really just giving us insight into the wonder of the world he visited and how the mystery inspired him to learn more.
The world has lost one of it's great teachers, a man who could bring joy to learning. A rare gift, one that will be dearly missed.
I like Calvin's reply the best. That's how we'll remember him. A silly but inspiring scientist and teacher.

Re: Steve Irwin
I thought it was his wish was that it be released? He was not acting irresponsibly from what I have heard. He was swimming and spooked the stingray... it was just freak coincidence that it peirced his heart... what are the odds? Originally Posted by Pickle
