There have been so many people interested in Steve Irwin’s death this week, quite an amazing number have visited my blog and the search terms have been crazy. On Monday and Tuesday, the first couple of days following his death in Australia, the search keywords were as expected “Steve Irwin’s death”, “Steve Irwin Stingray” and “Steve Irwin dead” just to name a few. Then on Wednesday it all changed! Curiosity took over and many visitors were looking for Steve’s death video, sick jokes on his death and comical images. I guess this happens through every walk of like and the only one I really haven’t seen too much like this is following 9/11.
I was searching youtube earlier and I was amazed at what I found when searching for all things Irwin and just like the variety of keywords used to find my blog this week, such was the variety of videos on offer at youtube. The videos ranging from tributes to his great life, death video (where you see a guy asking people why they really wanted to see his death), a re-enactment of when the stingray attacked Steve, show on Australian TV (shown Tuesday night believe it or not). Spoofs and yet more spoofs !!
Videos I’m glad that have made it to the net are news items from around the world, mainly from the day he was killed and I thought I would include snippets of these news reports, excerpts from news show and various news commentaries.
Nine News (OZ) (includes first news report)

Opie and Anthony (slightly strange view)
There are many more videos on the net these are certainly interesting especially the first Nine News Report that includes interviews with Steve’s manager, people who have survived …
