Holy crap.
Dr. Chris Rangel has posted a good discussion of trauma due to stingray barbs, stingray venom, and Steve Irwin's tragic death yesterday. It's well worth a read.
No way:
Stop it!
What a shock! Myself and Queenslanders will mourn him, his live shows at Australia Zoo, and his telly appearaces. condolences to his wife and family too.
It is a sad day... he had so much more to give the world, and that was cut short in the prime of his life.
I was saddened by this; although I've only watched a few episodes, the guy was really into it and passionate about what he did. Sometimes, when you watch someone who is so confident and knows what they're doing, you think they're going to be invulnerable...
This has been lingering in the back of my mind for the past few days.
But I ask myself how his children will feel about him not being there as they grow up. I know the guy WAS his job but I cant help feeling that they will feel a little cheated and more than a little upset as they grow up.
