Thread: Video of Steve Irwins death

    I just don't think I can vote on this topic. I think his family should choose whether it should be released or not. Steve wanted anything that ever happened to him to be on film, and I didn't know that it is, but it is. I don't think he said anything about it being published, but in all due respect for him and his family, I really think his family should choose.

    Well said! I agree.

    I don't think it should be, and I also think it should be up to his family & close friends as to whether they show the public or not. Steve said that he wanted anything that ever happened to him to be caught on film, but I don't believe he said that he wanted the entire world to see him die (unless I misinterpreted what he meant).

    I ment to vote for no, but accidently clicked unsure because I wasn't paying attention.

    As for the question, NO!!! Absolutely NOT! For one, I myself would be hysterical crying if they aired it. Second, because why would the family want to relive such a horrible moment. I can't even Imagine his kids looking at that at all. I cannot imagine why anyone would see that.

    Last I heard, Terry was to choose wether to air it or not. Which I hope she doesn't, I know I would not be watching that.

    BTW, I agree with k9soul, that video should be destroyed, for the familys sake.

    Absolutely NOT! That would be a complete invasion of the family and friends privacy! It would be unfair! It would be devestated(sp) for them to see that being played over and over again on the news! Plus, it might not sit right with some people to see someone dieing a very horrible death....

    How many times do we say something, expecting it to never happen? That's the question I'm left with... would Steve really have wanted that clip shown? Was that statement made before or after he had children? People's opinions change over time.

    I think his wife should make the choice.

    Personally, I don't think I want to see it. Perhaps only if, as Freckles suggested, the last few seconds were edited.

    No.

    I realy dont think it should be shown.

    Im scared of the people that did not like him or made fun of him (Which no one should have!) I know how the world is these days and I realy dont want stupid people watching it and laughing and saying horrible things about this man while he was killed.

    The tape should only be given to his family they can either keep or destroy it I mean why watch your husbands death over and over again when you can watch all the amazing things he did threw his life and be happy to think he's in a peaceful place.

    I don't really want to see it. Maybe up untill the last bit where he actually got stabbed, but I don't think the media should get at that.

    I voted for unsure. I feel that it is definitely up to his family to decide what to do with the tape. Though I'm not sure how it will work out legally, the tape could very well belong to the production company, I just hope that they will consult with the family before anything is done with it.

    No. Even if he said that he'd want it filmed a few years ago, who knows if he would change his mind now that he has young children. Haven't we all said we'd do something, but then in the moment, decided against it? I doubt he would want there to be any chance of them seeing it. Steve's family are the only ones who should make that decision.

    I even asked 2 of my kids that were in my room for lunch and they were appalled that anyone would even consider releasing it to the public.
