Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin, death to be broadcast? September 7, 2006
Posted by Andy Carroll in : Accidents, News , trackbackI saw a news item over at contactmusic which states that the final moments of Steve Irwins life may well be broadcast on TV. Apparently this was his wish should he fall whilst filming his crocodile shows. Somehow I just don’t think they will, and I am not sure I would want to watch it either. We know how he died, I am not sure what can be learned by watching it, or what good it will do his wife and children. This from contactmusic;
The tapes are currently being held by Queensland police - but Irwin’s family are determined to respect his last wishes and allow the harrowing footage to be broadcast. Irwin once insisted, “My number one rule is to keep that camera rolling. Even if it’s shaky or slightly out of focus, I don’t give a rip. “Even if a big old alligator is chewing me up I want to go down and go, ‘Crikey!’ just before I die. That would be the ultimate for me.”

i think we should all get to see his death but then again we shouldnt because would you wont your death to be on tv.. we all no how he was killed so why would you wont to see the effects.
i beleive we should get the oppertunity to veiw the footage and as it was his wish i dont see what the big deal about it
It sounds ghoulish but it might be educational to see the footage. We know that stingrays are benign creatures–what caused it to attack–was he too close and at the same time did the creature feel its escape route blocked by cameramen?
