RIP - Steve Irwin, The Crocodile Hunter

Yesterday afternoon when a gf msned me, saying that Steve Irwin died. He was stung by a stingray's barb in his chest while filming at the Great Barrier Reef. Initially, I thought she was kidding me, knowing well, we watched The Crocodile Hunter series when we were studying in Perth. She sent me the link to the devasting news, and there.... reality..

It was tough to accept his death. He feared no death, recollecting those crazy and daring stunts he put on his show (kissing venomous cobra, crocodiles, alligators). Steve's attitude towards nature was always so passionate and you can feel his enthusiasm in the shows, not forgetting his catchphrase "Crikey". This devoted conservationist and media star, will be missed.

My condolence to his family.
