I am very sad to say but, today, one of the greatest and bravest Australians ever to live...has perished.
Steve Irwin, the famed creator of the Crocodile Hunter documentaries on Animal Planet, has passed on today after being stung by a sting-ray in the chest. He left behind a wife and two children. May he rest in piece...

I caught a little news clip about the debate over whether they should release the video of his death or not. The arguments for the latter were basically for the sake of his children, which is a good enough reason.
From the report it seems that Steve's wife supports the release of it, because it more or less goes with Steve's wishes. They showed a couple of quotes by Steve basically saying that. The public though seems conflicted on the matter, I guess a poll was taken in the States and in Austrailia about whether to show the tape or not. 45% of Austrialians said yes while 85% of Americans said yes, in which the American correspondant said something along the lines that the poll is just trying to make Americans look bad and that the Austrailians are too grieved to say what they truely feel. He compared watching the tape to visiting a body at the funeral, which I thought was a very poor comparison. If you do go to a funeral, you're simply seeing a dead body that's usually made to look like they're at peace. With this tape, you're actually seeing a life being taken. It's very different if you want my opinion. So, personally, I don't think I would want to see the tape. At least not yet, if ever. I can see it being released though. So what I suggest that we accept that and if we disagree with that choice, we should choose not to watch it. There's seem to be too many on both sides of the fence for anything otherwise to happen.
