STEVE IRWIN IS DEAD! ;-;

Quote:
On 4 September 2006, shortly after 11:00 a.m. local time (01:00 UTC), Irwin was killed by a stingray barb while filming an underwater documentary in the Great Barrier Reef off the Low Isles near Port Douglas, north of Cairns, Queensland, Australia. News reports say he was stung either through his heart[5] or through the left side of his chest[6] by a stingray, causing a fatal wound. After he was stung, his crew called for medical help and the Queensland Rescue Helicoper responded. [1] However, Irwin was immediately pronounced dead at the scene.[7] The Queensland Police Service notified his family and released a statement for the media concerning the event. In a statement released to Australian media, Foreign Minister Alexander Downer expressed his sorrow and said that he was fond of Irwin and was very appreciative of all the work he had done in promoting Australia overseas.[8]

D: I just read that in another guild. I'm all "... It's so funny... But it's a death... Which is not cool... ... DAMN MY MIIND"

I decided I would probably get in less trouble if I go for the sad thing instead of the happy thing. >3>;

But seriously, his poor family.

I believe a lot of people thought it was a joke at first. D:
Damn, stingray death? I've been told that there are only two of those per year. What're the chances?

Well yea. Rest in peace Mr. Irwin. sad

gonk gonk crying crying crying gonk

...I can't believe he's gone. (now I feel terrible for making fun of him while my sister and I were at the zoo today)
He was one of the coolest people ever, seriously. I did an art project using a photo of him with a crocodile (CRIKEY!).

I've been to Cairns. It's very nice. :(

D: It's so strange that it was a stingray and not any of the other creatures that were so much more aggresive...

He'll be greatly missed.

It makes me wonder... I'm Constantly Dodging Buses, Dumptrucks, and Semi's when I drive, as the think It'd be fun to kill me.

Will I be taken out by a Motorcycle, when the person flys through my windsheild and kills me on impact?

I didn't know much (if anything) about him, but it's sad that he died that way. ._.

It took me a while to remember who he was, and I passed it off as some political guy dying, cuz a political guy died in Bermuda. Then I was like OMGNOWAI. D:

I used to watch his shows religiously. crying

gonk crying

Sure, he was wreckless, especially with that business with his baby son. (Poor him! gonk ) But he was a man of bravery and adventure. crying
