This is sad news. His wife is from Oregon and I have just a single degree of separation from the Irwins. Steve Irwin was a very good person by all acounts, a big hearted man who was deeply committed to education and to children. Though it wan't hard to imagine him going out this way, I was hoping to hear about a wirey, white-haired man in his late seventies fighting the biggest crocodile on record, not a young father dying in a freak accident.

Hey, hey, hey, don't be mean. We don't have to be mean, because, remember, no matter where you go, there you are.

On a dangerous shoot, they'd have medical care at the ready. For him to have died that way was completely unforseen. It's like the young woman who died in an earthquake when facade popped off as she walked by. There are instances where you can only think - 'it must really have been their time'.
My condolances to the family.

Steve will be greatly missed.
I loved watching his stuff when it first came out. I never missed an episode. I had not liked a nature show as much since, well never. There were a few I liked as a child but nothing I loved.
He made the world love the ugly creatures. Before him no one would have cared if Crocs and gators were gone. He love all of the Earth's creatures and help a lot of people to at least respect said creatures more.
I am sad that my daughter will never get to see a new episode of his show.
My condolences go out to Terry, Bindi Sue and Bob.
Kids, your father was a great man and is irreplaceable.
