MULLY Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 [quote]Steve Irwin, the Australian television personality and environmentalist known as the "Crocodile Hunter," was killed Monday by a stingray during a diving expedition, Australian media said. He was 44. Irwin was filming an underwater documentary on the Great Barrier Reef in northeastern Queensland state when the accident occurred, Sydney's The Daily Telegraph newspaper reported on its Web site. The Australian Broadcasting Corp. said Irwin was diving near Low Isles near the resort town of Port Douglas, about 1,260 miles north of Brisbane. A helicopter carrying paramedics flew to the island, but he died from a stingray barb to the heart, ABC reported on its Web site. Telephone calls to Australia Zoo, Irwin's zoo in southern Queensland, were not immediately answered. Irwin is famous for his enthusiasm for wildlife and his catchcry "Crikey!" in his television program "Crocodile Hunter," which was first broadcast in Australia in 1992 and has aired around the world on the Discovery channel. He rode his image into a feature film, and developed the Australia Zoo as a tourist attraction. Irwin had received some negative publicity in recent years. In January he stunned onlookers at his Australia Zoo reptile park by carrying his 1-year-old son into a crocodile pen during a wildlife show. He tucked the infant under one arm while tossing the 13-foot reptile a piece of meat with the other. Authorities declined to charge Irwin for violating safety regulations. Later that year, he was accused of getting too close to penguins, a seal and humpback whales in Antarctica while making a documentary. Irwin denied any wrongdoing, and an Australian Environment Department investigation recommended no action be taken against him.[/quote] Well, it sucks that someone so young dies like this but the dude put himself in danger's path all the time. If you play with fire you're eventually going to get burnt. Feel bad for his family. MULLY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBandJoeyV Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 Im not saying you have to feel sorry for the guy, but the guy was just making a living the best way he knew how, whether that was idiotic or not. But to laught at the guy for being killed this way? I mean, what the fuck did the guy ever do to you? if big ben would have died from his motorcycle accident I wouldnt have laughed, I would have been like he deserved it, but to laugh and make fun of him for it? dont get me wrong, Im all for making fun of ben for his accident but he survived. I mean what did this crocidile hunter ever do to BJ? Bj did he make fun of you when you were a kid or something? I mean to laugh and make fun of a guy for getting killed by a stingray, no matter how ironic it is, gives Bj or you or any one else no right to make fun of the guy and laugh about him being killed.

[/quote] sneaky have you ever got drunk? If so, lets say one night you got really drunk and died...yeah you made a terrible mistake, and yeah you could even say people shouldnt feel sorry for you cause you deserved it. But would it still be right to laugh at you and make fun of you for getting killed because you made a mistake and drank too much? I just dont think its right to laugh at a guy for being killed, especially a guy that has never done anything to you or your family or anything.

DaddyCincinnati Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 Man, I didn't know stingreys were such badasses. It's sad to hear about his death, but you can't fuck around with animals for that long and not have something like that happen to you. Like he always said,"That's natures way." At least the guy died doing what he loved to do. Rest in peace you crazy fucker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
