I know how the crocodile hunter (Steve Irwin) died, but why did he go in the Shedd Aquarium and get bitten like that? If he saw the stingray coming, then why didnt he move??!! And what about the people that were working the the aquarium? Isn't there guards practically everywhere? Why didn't they try to help Steve if they saw the stingray coming? And what about the guests that were in the aquarium that day? I bet that would've been so heart-wrenching if you saw one of your favorite TV personalities being killed by a stingray (I didn't know they stung like that so powerful into people's hearts!) and if I was one of them I would be moping about the loss of Steve because I saw it in front of my very eyes. And wasn't he killed on Labor Day? Then wouldn't more people be at the aquarium because there's no school or work? And what about the people in different states besides Illinois (because the Shedd Aquarium is in Illinois)? Do they think Illinois killed Steve now? Please answer all help!

You seem to have your facts a little off. He was filming off the Great barrier reef(australia) when stung by the stingray. Stringrays are usually very calm and don't attack people. Most people are stung on the foot or lower leg as stingrays often hide on the ocean floor. The sting is rarely fatal.... Steve was unlucky.
The accident was just that...an accident. Steve has handled many dangerous animals and was always aware of the potential dangers.
The only tiny consolation in this unfortunate accident is that Steve Irwin died doing what he loved to do.

I don't think he was in the aquarium. I believe he was diving on the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. It's sad because he might have lived if he wasn't in such a remote area. But, maybe not, it was a serious injury. Remember, if anyone is ever stabbed or has an object jabbed in them, it's way better to leave it in until you can get to an ER.

He was floating on top of the stingray and there was really nothing anyone can do, it was so sudden that the sting ray attacked.

he wasnt in an aquarium..because if he was...the sting rays in an aquarium doesn't have barbs on their tales...they trim them off...so they aren't dangerous like the ones in the oceans...and he would have lived, but when he got back in the boat, he pulled the barb from his chest..which caused him to bleed out
