From an Australian point of view the whole "it was bound to happen" line is bullshit! There have been 14, read it 14 recorded cases of Fatal attacks on humans by sting rays... WORLDWIDE!!!! Only the 3rd ever recorded case in Australia. Steve lived and breathed animals and he had people believe he was just some crazy aussie but he was a very very smart man. He knws animals inside and out and he was always safe. This was nothing mroe than a freak accident! I have snorkled among rays before and they are the most placid animals in the ocean.
It is a sad day for his family, for the conservation of the environment and animals worldwide (he gave millions upon millions of money to the cause every year) and for Australia. We have lost arguably our most recognizable faces worldwide...

QUOTE(lalala @ Sep 5 2006, 11:56 PM) im not talking about stingrays, im talking about what he did. he's been bite by snakes plenty of times. if it wasnt a stingray, it probably would have been something else. I hope he did enjoy what he did though, he always made me laugh. I thought he often said ha had NEVER been bitten by a poisionous snake. He got bit by a non venomous one once. QUOTE(jrock8 @ Sep 5 2006, 11:58 PM) did you know jackie chan is an australian citizen? ![coz.gif](style_emoticons/default/coz.gif) of course, his accent definitely isn't North American.

Very sad that he's gone at such a young age, and devasting for his parents, wife and kids.
Although, it was probably more likely that he'd die whilst filming in the water than whilst filming on land. Man is much more adept and fast at moving whilst on land (no water resistance), and therefore a lot easier to keep out of the way of teeth, tails, etc. Anything happening in the water was/is a lot harder to move out of the way quickly, especially when you're a land dweller.
Should the footage be shown to the public though? Assuming the family says yes, I think it should be, not as a macabre horror way of pulling in viewers, but as a demonstration that even those creatures considered docile are dangerous when they need to be and that they should be accorded as much respect as those we deem the most dangerous. I think that's something Steve would have respected and wanted people to see.

Have some respect actually, steve was quoted to have saying that if he was killed he'd want it on tape. now, if he actually still wants thats now and if others want to is a totally diff thing.

What he did say was that if he was filming a Doco and was killed or attacked whilst on the shoot he would not want the cameras to stop rolling... he did not say let's broadcast my demise to billions around the world. I hope that when you pass away you are afforded with more respect than you give to others

QUOTE(BigMichael @ Sep 8 2006, 07:14 PM) In the sun newspaper it said the footage would never become available and wouldn't be shown, then the next day it said his family have asked for it to be shown because it is what he would have wanted, macabre or not, who can argue with his and therefore his families wishes. Michael. I had not read yet that his family ask for the footage to be released... I find that very interesting Ultimately his family do not own the footage so it is really a decision for his manager

Bondi, I never meant use it in a macabre generate high ratings way, I meant that it if it were to be shown, it should be in a responsible manner, in an educational manner.
And yes, if it had happened to be my family member and they had previously expressed a desire that footage of their death be used to responsibly educate people about the dangers of what they did with their life, then I would be willing to uphold their wishes and ensure that the footage was used in such a manner. That's not to say that it should be shown right now whilst interest in his death is still very high, that would be exploiting the footage, which is not what it should be used for.
There is a vast difference between what your average tabloid media editor and a responsible documentary maker would use the footage for, and it should be used for education, not exploitatively, as we frequently see with all news footage these days.

Agreed! Also BigMichael I saw an interview with his manager who's production company own EVERY second of footage shot by and for Irwin and he has said the footage will never make the light of day. SO without some dramatic change of heart I dare say it's case closed
