Remembering the Crocodile Hunter 2 years on

[Guest Flying Red Fox]

It was early morning (UK time) when i started chatting to member grunt on 6th September 2006, he suddenly told me that Steve Irwin had been killed! :cry: At first i thought he was joking but then he linked his pc to the national news and this Aussie news reporter saying that poor Steve had been killed by a Stingray! I was sort of quiet as i listened to it for around half an hour and felt sad that he had died so young at 44.

 

I know that he died doing what he loved and that working with dangerous animals was always risky but we will always remember him and his legend lives on.

 

I wish Animal Planet would do a re run of his shows! Hopefully they will soon.

 

We will always remember you Steve Irwin, you changed our World for the better!

2 years already? Indeed we remember Steve. Seems like it was yesterday. It was a shock to hear it and then after was Peter Brock.

I have to say that I used to love watching Steve irwin's adventures in Scotland and where I live now is not that far from his Zoo. No visited it yet though. I felt so sad that day too.. I liked him, his sheer enthusiasm for his job.. I know he had tv cameras rolling but still he just came across as really caring about the environment. Long may it continue in his name. We have a Steve Irwin Way named after him.
