Crikey!...
Isn't it funny, despite all the things we used to see him do with dangerous snakes and crocs, or maybe because of, it came as a shock to hear this afternoon of the death of Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter.
I guess we had an image of him as being indestructable, maybe it was the trademark khaki clothes he always wore that protected him. Khakis he wouldn't have been wearing while diving, although I wouldn't put it past him.
Someone at work said it'll be like 9/11, you'll always remember what you were doing the day Steve Irwin died.
I think the comments on news.com.au say it all regarding how people felt about him. As I write this there are about 2240 entries and it's still climbing. Mine went in at about 560.
Condolences to his family and I hope they carry on his environmental work. They may not have his larger-than-life image, but I'm sure they all have his drive.

There's a lot of people talking about him. I've seen forums based overseas that are also commenting.
It's hard to believe he died. Like you say, you think of him as being indestructible.
