Kind of odd to get stung like that, really strange. Sad... very sad....

Unless I'm mistaken stingray injuries are usually a result of them being stepped on, the stinger is just behind the body in the first part of the tail. I believe they sting as a reflex (not sure). So he would've been on above it somehow.


I think he got too close to it or something.

Crikey!

Lets not get ourselves all depressed about this - we should remember him the way he would want to be remembered, and maybe have renewed interest in wildlife :drink:

Whilst I am genuinely upset about mr. Irwin's passing, I just found this which made me chuckle: http://img242.imageshack.us/img242/6914/demiseofirwinnq0.gif

It feels like using one of your own. I rang my mate Ben from Sydney and had a good chat about it this afternoon. There were conflicting reports.

He said, they had finished filming and he was in the water with his daughter. He put himself between his young daughter and the Ray. It had been said that the ray was behaving in an agitated manner and lashed out with it's tail and the barb penetrated his heart. We were unsure if this is factual. What a Dad this man must have been!

My thoughts echo yours Mr 38th. We must have more Steve Irwins. People with a pair and know how to get the messages across to the f*ckwits of this planet and the corporate money making machines who refuse to be told your in this with the rest of us. Same thing then.

I was very shocked when I heard this on the news this morning - a great loss, loved watching his shows. Not only did he make this stuff interesting to the masses, he was funny with it and seemed to really care for the animals (like when he'd capture snakes on the road and relocate them in a safer place).

RIP mate  :(

Didnt agree with him feeding crocodiles with his baby in his arm. Thats almost as bad as MJ waving his baby around out that window!!!

Great loss to the wildlife community though...

Apparantly stingray attacks are pretty rare? unlucky.. guy like Irwin it was a chance it was going to happen sooner or later,he was bound to get attacked... just like the guy who did alot for saving the grizzly bears in america until one ate him... at the end of the day they are WILD animals and might not take kindly to being messed about with by us :(



RIP

He brought me up!

Croc Files, Crocodile Hunter, oh God, Steve, I miss you!

Apparently the formation that the camera man and Steve were in threatened the animal, it still is a bit unclear as to what happened.

It's a sad loss.

But there's a lesson to be learned: Don't f*** with wild animals.

It was nothing like it looked on the TV though.  The media beat-up of it was pathetic.

I bet! News is good business.

Remember the Concord disaster? A racing motorcycle mechanic friend of a photographer I know caught that out of a plane window taxing on the run way. The photos made £125000 in 24 hours.

Blanket news coverage is ruthless in it's pursuit of badness in the world.

The BBC just nick it of everyone else these days. I mean they had 500 people on their world cup mission. Who pays for all that? We do. They can't afford small stuff  so they plagiarise it from every other vulture and hope for the best.

Today is the first day forward now Bliar has finally given up the ghost.

Let the madness begin.
