Title: Steve Irwin has died Post by: c| Lone-Wolf on September 04, 2006, 08:50:43 am http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/steve-irwin-killed-by-stingray/2006/09/04/1157222051512.html
Yesterday morning on the coast of the Great Barrier Reef, Australia, while filming a documentary, Irwin was struck by a sting ray in the heart and was pronounced dead on the scene by responding medical personel. Regardless of what we may have thought of him, he was an incredible man with an amazing passion for his work and truly good through and through. The world is much poorer with his passing. Title: Re: Steve Irwin has died Post by: Kangaroo on September 04, 2006, 11:52:31 am Indeed Lone this was a man who returned every cent he earnt to the animals, i only hope the animal conservation efforts he has and was achieving not only here in Australia, but throughout the world will continue in his passing.
He will be sorely missed. Title: Re: Steve Irwin has died Post by: (SiX)Sheixhundt on September 04, 2006, 04:01:21 pm i am just as bummed as bummed gets.
great guy, self effacing (knew he was somewhat goofy) widely loved in the states, as a sincere, caring guy- i guess we all knew it would happen sometime, i just didnt think it would be by stingray.. snake, croc, spider...but not stingray. Thanks steve. u happy cheeful, sincere bastard- I bet that stingray camped his ass... Title: Re: Steve Irwin has died Post by: mesa on September 04, 2006, 04:45:07 pm gg's Steve Irwin.

Title: Re: Steve Irwin has died Post by: PUNiSHER™ on September 05, 2006, 11:19:30 am In the news today their reporting the whole thing was caught on tape and Irwin actually pulled the barb out of his chest before he died.
"Steve Irwin was videotaped pulling a poisonous stingray barb from his chest in his last moments of life" Wouldn't it be wise to wear some kind of metal chest plate while swimming around stingrays to avoid this?

The man hunted crocodiles with his bare hands there is a lot of things he did that weren't wise Title: Re: Steve Irwin has died Post by: Cell on September 05, 2006, 06:09:47 pm Crikeys!! This guy was a maniac. Seeing him jump into crock infested waters in the dark to wrestle one of them monsters into the boat was probably the sickest thing I've seen him do.
Title: Re: Steve Irwin has died Post by: BFG on September 05, 2006, 07:56:10 pm dunno i think the sickest thing was when he took his kid in and went to feed crocs with the baby under his arm...
Sting rays normally never attack, and if they do then it is almost never fatally - in this case it was the fact the barb pierced his heart... i guess all u can say is at least it was quick - although if he was able to pull it out then maybe not as quick as i thought. ps, im guessing its too early for steve Irwin jokes? bad taste yeah ok.Just checkin... Title: Re: Steve Irwin has died Post by: NiKLoT on September 05, 2006, 10:20:50 pm dunno if i can laugh about it.. i still cant believe it... my sunday afternoon where will b my crocodile hunter... ill miss the "OHHH LUCK AT THAT"
