I have read and read all the questions and comments about the video of Steve Irwin's death being released. There seems to be a LOT of misinformation out here.
First.. the footage of the stingrays was something he was doing for the new show he and Bindi were doing called Bindi the jungle girl, and was NOT for the documentary of the oceans most deadly creatures.
Second the BULL ray That barbed him was hidden under the sand,not in plain sight. Steve was not poking a stcik at it or harrassing it and prob did not know it was there!
Third... It was not a vicious attack from the ray... as Steve swam over it it startled, barbed him and took off. It is doubtful Steve ever realized what hit him.
Fourth It was fast
The ray stung him and Steve clutched his chest , pulled the barb and he was gone.... Thats it
Its not like there is hours of documentary footage etc... It was fast, unexpected and awful
Its up to the Irwins to decide if STEVE would have wanted it released. Give it a rest.
