Farewell Crocidile Hunter :(

Sad indeed. I enjoyed his shows.

 

My kids are going to miss his shows. They learned a lot from him.

 

A very sad day for somebody who was a great conservalist.

 

CrieKee lol

 

Woah. When I first read this I thought he was just canceled, not killed.

 

I loved this guy.

 

we all knew it was coming im sure..he was a crazy man...but a good man...he will be missed by just about everyone i believe...i know i cried a bit...i loved that guy...

 

He gave a presentation at my school when I was eleven or twelve, back before he was on television. He brought all kinds of animals with him, I think one of his snakes escaped. It was a better presentation than most -- hell, I still remembered it when I saw him on television ten years later, I couldn't even tell you who else gave a presentation. His show was great too -- as Swifty said, fun and informative.

 

Since he was on location filming when the accident happened, they got it all on film.

They're still deciding if they're going to release the footage or not.

I hope they don't.

There's no need to see that.

 

Very true Hamma..Unless somebody of the fallen's family puts a court order against it, Just like Dale Earnhardt's Widow did of her deceased husbands autopsy. I hope that this footage is not shown..but I feel that Hamma is absolutely right that somehow it will be shown...

 

His Daughter was with him that day, im just glad she didnt see it, Atleast he was doing what he loved.

 

From reports the entire event was totally unexpected. The ray was buried in the sand and he had no idea it was there. Just a lightning quick flash and Steve pulling a barb from his chest. The toxin caused immediate cardiac arrest.

I assumed like 95% of everyone out there that he was screwing around with something that say "enough". Sounds like he was just doing some 'second unit' type shots to splice between encounters.

I was one of the "just some idiot tempting Darwin" until I saw the special on his life and how he got started. Always nice to have someone totally change your opinion of them in just a few minutes.

 

I feel bad for his children, and his wife. He was like the 7th person in the world to be killed by a stingray.

 

I feel bad for him but then i remember a video of him in a croc pit with his baby daughter in his arms. He is a little crazy to me. He was fun to watch though.

 

1 in 1,000,000,000 chance. Poor guy.
