Tragic end to Steve Irwin's adventurous life...

Shocked to see the news of Steve's death caused by Stingrays. Everytime we see these Stingrays, we thought they are one of less harmful creatures. But as a professional Steve would have known about this much and should have taken enough precautionery measures.

He sounds and looks too much of adventurous in the screen, people complains. But we should admit that that is the differentiator of his episodes with others. When we see him in the television, our mind thinks more about his safety and risk than the program's content. That is his success I believe.

There were few black spots in his career as well, when his pictures created a lot of furore in which he was feeding a crocodile while holding his one month old baby in the other hand. Although it looked really stupid for everyone almost, he tried convincing that he was in total control of the situation.

Our whole family used to sit and watch all his Croc Hunter episodes. We really loved his accent and famous phrases like "Crikey" etc. We are going to miss him a lot and for sure we would remember his quote...

"I have no fear of losing my life if I have to save a koala or a crocodile or a kangaroo or a snake, mate, I will save it..."

...for a moment when we switch to one of those TV channels he used to show up.


I also remember his another quote about MGM, the US based moviemakers :

"Crikey, mate. You're far safer dealing with crocodiles and western diamondback rattlesnakes than the executives and the producers and all those sharks in the big MGM building." Comparing dealing with deadly animals with show business..."

Our prayers to his wife Terrie and the kids Bob and Bindi.
