The famous crocodile hunter killed by a stingray - wow

[Nite Producer]

it's a tragedy, the big australian crocodile hunter steve irwin has been killed by a stingray. This man was untouchable, being around crocodiles didn't hurt him, look how surprises happen, who would think that a stingray would kill somebody like him.

Nature is mean. watch out guys, I just have been bitten by a spider 3 days ago, luckely, it wasn't a deadly one.

Oh my! where do you live ?

for now, I'm in Dubai - UAE, but they have just 2 deadly spiders here, the australian red back and the black widow, I would be worrying if I was in Australia and got bitten, but the thing is they have everything for spiders bites and snakes etc etc in Oz, it's been years that somebody died from a spider bite. as well as I was worrying a lot here, because I don't trust Dubai, and I don't think that they could save me if I was in a danger fase.

Linda.. if you don't deadly creepy crawly things, then stay away from Australia.. Alternatively, you do what I did, learn how to live with them.. so if you feel a 2" hairy hunstman spider crawling on your neck and falls into your top, just gently grab it and put it on a tree.. if it bites it's not that bad, it only gives you a fever for a few days.. cute huh?..lol

Now.. Steve Irwin died of a Sting-Ray sting.. that particular species is not poisonous.. but it is big and strong.. it has a spiked tail and lashes like a whip.. he was diving right above the ray when it flicked its tail and got stabbed him with the spike right in the heart.. so it's a stab wound that killed him, not the poison.. Amazing.. Isnt it..!! Poor fella.. he's been through alot and he still stood on his feet.. I admire him.

I truely hate to see that Mr Irwin has died. I know so many folks that look upto him as a role model, not just as a cool animal guy. Taking risks like he did was his passion. He died living his dream. If only we all could be that lucky. He was a great man with great vision WITH the ability to teach millions of people around the world about the animals that we share the planet with. He will be greatly missed. >:o(

come on, spiders exist everywhere, you can't avoid them, it's just matter of chance, the difference with me is, if I was in USA or Australia, I wouldn't worry too mush, but being in a **** place like dubai is not that safe, I don't trust doctors here, they can tell you that you have nothing, but god knows what's the truth, because or they have fake doctor degrees, or too lazy to work, or just don't give a **** about you, that's how it works in Dubai, you have to fight for yourself like in dinosaur time.

yeah true, I just didn't explain exactly what happened, I just was in shock, that's why I just wrote quick, man, he was so crazy to do all that stuff, I knew he would die by something like that, god bless him.

Honnestly guys, we don't have to be sorry really for him, we should be happy as said brenT, he died living his dream, he got what he want from life, and he did great things, his luck in that time wasn't there when the accident happened, but I feel sorry for his family, it's pretty hard to lose somebody we care about.

I appreciate what he did in his life and I congratulate him for what he accomplished so far, he was the ONLY one who was able to approach dangerous animals, the world learned from him a lot, and will always be a great legend who did miracles and good shows, never forgotten.

Actually Ez, what I heard this morning is that the barb went into his heart, and if he himself hadnt tried to pull it out then he may have made it. As with the stingrays barb its much like a fishhook and by pulling it out as with all weapons it creates more of a hazzard than the initial stabbing. But Im sure everyone knows that...hehe..
From what his colleuge had said that Steve just automatically reached to the barb and Yank....not good....
Spiders, I think NOT!...ick ewe...but you are right tho, tender and smooth is the way to go...I once woke to a spider resting in my eye. I naturally and calmly without opening my eyes, reached up and grabbed him and threw him on the floor. He didnt bite, just scurried off. I still have chills and 'willies' over that!....icky icky...
