Papa_Lazarou Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 i suppose if you asked steve what he thinks about it all,he'd say, cricky's mate, " what a great way to go out " I agree, but he has still been taken too soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let it go at that if the poster cant respect the deeds of a truly remarkable person, or at least respect his memory, then make petty comment, I know where his future posts will end up.

Papa_Lazarou Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 (edited) Just to put a good word in for Bendix. He is rich and earns a lot of money in a lawfirm in Bangkok.

Papa_Lazarou Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 I don't like snakes much. A trait I have in common with Indiana Jones.

jbowman1993 Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 (edited) I would say his life was not wasted, and I think he would agree with me. I bet if he had to choose a way to go, having it happen when he was doing what he loved the most would be his pick. That should be some small comfort to his fans and family. He educated and enterained millions and millions of people. His passion and enthusiam for all animals, large and small, was infectious. Sure, he was a bit overblown, but you could never deny his heart was always in the right place. I will miss him, and my sympathies go out to his family. Be at Peace, my friend.

He was on the edge many times doing scary things but he and his programs will be missed... ..however, Daley: your boy doesn't have to miss his programs I think, since the series will be recorded and for sale on DVD for many years to come, fortunately!

mrbojangles Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Sad tragedy, he was also a great conservationist. RIP From sky news http://news.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,30000-1232859,00.html Crocman Irwin Is Killed Updated: 09:22, Monday September 04, 2006 World-famous Australian naturalist Steve Irwin has died in a marine accident. The danger-loving wildlife enthusiast was killed by a barb from a stingray that pierced his chest. He was filming an underwater documentary off Australia's northeast coast when the accident took place. He had been diving off his boat "Croc One" near Batt Reef, northeast of Port Douglas. A helicopter took paramedics to nearby Low Isles, where Irwin was taken for medical treatment, but he was dead before they arrived. Tributes at Irwin's zoo "Steve was hit by a stingray in the chest," said local diving operator Steve Edmondson. "He probably died from a cardiac arrest from the injury." Irwin's daredevil antics, which saw him go face-to-face with deadly creatures such as crocodiles and poisonous snakes on camera, won him a global following. The 44-year-old was known for uttering the word "Crikey" when confronted with a particularly deadly animal. Nicknamed "The Crocodile Hunter", he triggered outrage in 2004 by holding his then one-month-old baby while feeding a snapping crocodile at his Australian zoo. He is survived by his American wife Terri, their daughter Bindi Sue, eight, and two-year-old son Bob. Police said his family had been informed.

bendix Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 (edited) Much better, thank you. Your interest in my financial status is equaled only by my lack of interest in yours. Now, getting back to the thread . . . . . If it's being disrespectful to Steve Irwin to question why this is a relevant thread when many other non-Thai threads are closed immediately, then I apologise to the board, to Steve and to his family. Irwin was a character for sure, although not without controversy. Does anyone remember him dangling his baby above a crocodile's mouth a few years ago? But he seemed a genuine guy and there is something strangely fitting that he would go this way. All losses of life are tragic, especially when he's leaving a young family behind. My sympathies to the family. But I dont think my post was an unreasonable one. Many other posters have had threads closed when non-Thai issues are raised. It seemed a reasonable question.

Papa_Lazarou Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Does anyone remember him dangling his baby above a crocodile's mouth a few years ago? Along the same lines as Michael Jackson recklessly dangling his baby out of the window. A pointless circus act and a lot of the obits are mentioning it. Could have been career suicide doing something like that on camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know what they say, any publicity is good publicity, sometimes people in the media do things without thinking about how the media will react, that event could have been on purpose or not, i guess we will never know now tho, Is it any worse than things like riding around Bangkok with your 3 year old kid on the back of the Motorsi? Lets hope he is remembered for all the good he did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgrin Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Steve made a very successful career out of doing what he loved and loving what he did. If everyone could follow his example the world would be a better place. I am personally going to drink a Foster's in his honor tonight. Chok dee khap to his wife and family.
