i had a teacher that used to work at australia zoo as a volunteer and one day in 2006 she gets a phone call in the middle of class, which wasnt that weird. but then she just dropped to the floor crying then when she brought herself together she told us that Steve Irwin had passed away.
it was crazy the impact it had on everyone. i still remember it till this day, great teacher, i remember how she got the whole school involved in planting like 1,000 native trees in the school grounds. i drive past the one i planted a lot and it always reminds me of the day steve passed on.
It must have been hard for your teacher when they took that call I feel for her I'm guessing it's a phone call no one likes to get.
That's how us Americans felt when dale Earnhardt died. My teacher got a call dropped to his knees and cried. He made us drive our parents cars to school and do burnouts
Dunno what the school fuss was about: Steve Irwin should have left the damned sting-ray alone, rather than getting so close to it and discovering (to his fatal cost) what happens when one of these noble creatures does when threatened. He should have known (and probably did) what would happen if he frightened them in their natural environment.
Nino Nieman they usually are bot aggresive
@@alfredpersson2550 True @Alfred Persson, they are not aggressive creatures... but get on top of it, and frighten it, and it's likely to fight back to defend iself - in this case killing Steve in the process. Wild animals are called 'wild' for a reason. Humans ignore this to their peril. Steve is just the latest example.
Absolute bloody legend of this country,
should be on the $100 bill. Proud to be an Australian.
True blue indeed.
If there's anyone he should replace on our currency it's that old bag from England who has no affiliation with Australia whatsoever
F Hugh Steve Irwin was far from a ignorant, big mouthed, attention seeking, self promoting, dipshit that finally got what he deserved. He was very far from that. He did everything in the name of conservation and is the reason i have an interest in reptiles and am going to start my youtube channel about our awesome Aussie wildlife. F--k you for disrespecting our greatest Aussie ikon. RIP Steve Irwin and f--k you. He did not get what he deserved.
steve was a great man, he was aware of the dangers of certain animals but handle them with care, hes was a good man and an aussie legend, id like to see you do what he has done
shardsfortards is this comment directed at me? If so i think we have a miss understanding as i was arguing that he was a great man. But if this directed at every body els on the thread then i couldn't agree more.
nah mate i was saying it to whoever you said your comment too
He would’ve been 57, happy birthday Steve Irwin 😥
Fast forward too 2219 "Steve would have been 157 today"
58 now
Still young - died too soon doing what he loved 😘💕
58 this year. His beautiful Bindi is now married and expecting her first little Wildlife Warrior. 💚
Almost 58 this year
Steve Irwin needs to be of a coin or a note am I right? Because he is a bloody legend
CRfilms You are right but Austalia Zoo is the biggest tribute to Steve all his life's work saving endangered animals and educating people. But Steve needs no monument he is loved and will be loved forever I think.
$100 note
Yes
ikr he made a big change in Australia.
Agreed mate
Though many of us never knew Steve personally, it is as though we lost our brother. RIP Steve you'll be forever in our hearts.
Australia and the world lost a true icon.
Apparently his personality was no different from when he was on TV. Now, that's rare.
My sister was battling brain cancer at the age of 7 we went to Australia zoo and Steve came up to us and he said “never stop fighting little mate even if I die I will still be rooting for you he also walked past our house and came in once to have some toast. and she passed last summer now I know he and her are having fun up in heaven
Those of us who grew up with him didn't lose a brother, we lost a father.
Yes very true. It was the week we lost Steve Irwin and Peter Brock another well known Aussie. I was at work when we first learnt about Steve Irwin passing away and was on my way home from work on the train when we first learnt Peter Brock later that's same week as Steve Irwin passed away. Steve Irwin passed away on a Tuesday and Peter Brock passed away on a Friday and it was early Friday in the same week.
u can still see that ute the exact way its packed in the video that's everything from his last trip they packed on on the day of his funeral and parked it out back never touched again u can still(to this day) walk around the legends ute
We’re at
@@AltCorzzaa i would presume at australia zoo in brisbane
@@AltCorzzaa i dont think you can see it anymore, since the irwins talk about how they drive it around
No actually you dont
@@joshuaboxsell7183 Sunshine Coast mate
Steve Irwin and Robin Williams will always be my heroes for the rest of my life.
I'm almost 28 years old and become a child when I think of one of them
Couldn't agree more with you
Lui Jui I’m
41 & you should include Slim Dusty
Lui Jui I’m 26 and those were the only two people I ever wanted to meet. Grew up watching them and learning from them I still to this day go back and watch old crocodile hunter videos and Robin’s stand up. Two great men gone to soon.
My two favorites also.. great guys
Lui Jui. Yeah mate your right, Steve Irwin I can’t help you with that, unfortunately, that was a tragic accident that should’ve never happened, but it did. With Robin Williams however, that was murder by the corrupt criminal entertainment industry... ☹️☹️🙁🙁😭😭😢😢
Damn it, this is still a kick in the nuts! Steve, the world misses you mate!
Breaks me every bloody time
foath mate
foath
same here..
Same i love the bloke
Same
I watched the whole broadcast when this was on...the last packing up of the truck always gets to me...
What's that mean? Sorry,here, Internet,just comes to surface at 2009
Is that mean: the remains of Steve Irwin are picked up,so he got his deserved final rest?
@@kentoscocos5238 No, it means that Steves gone, and will no longer see his most used stuff. Its the feeling of oh shit hes really gone. I remember watching this too. For somereason it really made me sad unlike other actors, because this guy was legit. An he made me interested in exploring the globe. I was only 7, but I remember it so well.
@@hectorramirex389 sorry for your loss
Kentos Cocos no no - they picked up some of his favourite items that he always used, then drove out of the area where the funeral was being held
Left work early to watch this. Gets me 2.
10 years ago today Australia and the world lost a truly remarkable man R.I.P. Steve Irwin.
shut up crackhead, pay respect to a legend.
F Hugh You're a fucking idiot mate. A legend that made Australia what it's known for died millions of people across the country have respect and then you're here being a fuckhead. Go fuck yourself, you are not fucking Australian. Go back to fucking Afghanistan or wherever the fuck it is you come from. Or should I look at your feet. There should be a red mark for when you cam from England on the fucking convict ships where the fucking chains were attached.
Looksea....the winner is your foundation on me...
your bad. and a DISGRACE
I still remember the day I found out he died I was 7 years old and my dad picked me up from school. before he drove he said to me "Matt..I heard Steve got into accident today but we think he will be ok". I thought at that moment that he would be ok because he always seemed invincible. later that night the news reporter said he died and just cried and cried asking why did he have to go. I was crying for days, what was equally worse was that my planned a trip to go to Australia Zoo a month before this and I wanted to s see him in action just like I saw on my dvds. The two biggest lessons I learnt from Steve is that you should always be true yourself/to the people around you and that if you have the dedication and passion for something you love go at it with 100%. We still miss you Steve and we will never forget what you did for the world.
Your daughter is grown up and married now and just had you a granddaughter, I'm sure you will watching over them all and proud that they are following your passion and keeping your legacy alive ❤️
His kids are making him proud.....rest in peace steve
he'd probably prefer his daughter didn't go to the national media and bag the crap out of his dad :(
What they have done to Bob is disgusting - Steve would be doing somersaults if he knew
@@calsailor96 He knows
None of y’all in this chain know anything but 1 social media post by bindi shut up
I commented on this video 8 years ago and even to this day that man is my true hero, it was always my dream just to meet him
Rest in peace Steve Irwin you will always be remembered a brilliant human being that you were
i ve never said this before but everytime i watch this i always end up in tears what a great animal lover an warrior steve is im still crying in 2023
same here
:( rip steve
We wouldn't have such a popular channel like Animal Planet without Steve Irwin he helped launch the channel early in it's history.
One of the saddest days of my life when he passed away, still could not come to terms with that............RIP steve
Same here. I still mourn him, it's a darker world without him.
I was very shocked and sad when I heard that he had died.
11 years ago the world lost a hero... watching this today, 11 years after, and I remember it as yesterday, how I cried for weeks after the news of Steve passing away. I'm so proud that his family carries on his legacy, but Steve is still missed and always will be.
peter brock died not long before steve, and i said to my workmates that this song is deserved og both of them
@@Samuria-ny9bd Peter Brock died 4 days after steve
It was a trifecta of Australiana legends that week. We lost Billy Thorpe, (of the band Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs), of course, Steve, and then Peter.
For a good week, it felt to me like the "are you really disappearing, just another dying race" line was spooky real. Losing a sense of identity.
One the most genuine human beings to walk on Gods Earth. Gone but never forgotten . What a legend.
A True Blue, fair dinkum Aussie that will never be forgotten. RIP Steve, you have taught so many about how beautiful and unique Australia is.
I grew up watching Steve and he got me into wildlife in the first place. Felt like we lost Australia’s Dad.
I saw this live when it broadcast. And I cried, I'm not afraid to admit it. Steve was true blue, he loved what he did, an authentic guy. And a Land Cruiser owner through and through.
2021 and this still tugs at my heart.
Your not the only one
Still brings tears to my eyes and more so at the end when the sunfflowers spell out CRIKEY.
Me too! That was so fitting since he said that all the time.
I was fine until Crikey came out, then I burst into tears.
me too
He put Australia on the map
Yep he did
Think that was the British
Ah Australia was on the map way before Irwin 😜
He invented australia
Australia Has always been on the map, Thank you for your support of the free world. We thank you for your great efforts to conserve the world's wildlife. Please help the native peoples of Australia to become balanced again with the land they lost and be at peace with those who settled there in the 18th century.
You will never get that level of respect for a royal, loading up that troopy, the crowds reaction, what a fucken Legend!
2022 and I’m still devastated, RIP to an icon, activist and all around top bloke!
just played this at brothers funeral today,,,,,,,,,,,,,RIP bro
Sad but thanks for the idea I’m gunna get someone to play this at my funeral
Same situation for my sister last summer
Sorry man...
Right in the feels! Steve was literally one of the best people on this planet.
This brings me to tears every time! Steve was way too young to go! He should be here with his wife and kids and spoiling the heck out of his granddaughter!
This makes me so proud to be an Aussie.
We all knew we hit the jackpot with, Steve.
A one in a billion that legend was.
Gone, but be never forgotten RIP 🥹
I was born in England and moved to Australia when I was 1, Steve Irwin was an inspiration to me out there and still is now at 37, this man was a legend and a hero to so many people and always will be. 🙏
Steve Irwin passed away on my birthday, while I was in the US Navy. Through he isn't here with us physically, he will ALWAYS live on in all of our hearts. I consider him more than just a hero, he's a "True Blue" legend, and legends never die
End of an era when this legend died. Had the pleasure of meeting him with my grandad once or twice while visiting my grandads sister and her husband. Steve shook my hand and everything. I've never forgotten that!
He wasn't just an Aussie legend he was legend in general. RIP steve
Steve would have been 53 today. Happy birthday Stevo, we miss ya mate
Still in 2024, still an icon of Australia
And our Aussie cultural identity is unfortunately getting less and less every year 😔
World icon
Steve Irwin was the first public figure that I've ever mourned. He was a better man than humanity deserved
Always a tear when I I see this, what a great man and a best friend to all animals. You left the greatest legacy Steve and god bless you.
30 People hate this because they know they will never be half the man Steve was.
They pray to tha devil daily, hoping to be a thousandth of the bloke he was🐊
This will never not be brutally sad....we love you Steve and miss you so incredibly much
God bless Steve Irwin. He was a national treasure who spent his whole life being passionate about wildlife, and sharing his passion, not just with fellow Australians, but with the world. I wished I had gotten to meet him 🙁
Rip mate rip mate we miss ya we love ya Steve Irwin your daughter is doing a lot good stuff now you would be proud mate
Unwanted Gu patrol And Bill's going alright as well.
Weaponised Farts Who’s Bill??
^You mean Bob-Robert.
I'm not Australian, and I don't believe I have any Australians in my family tree, but this video and having just recently been to Australia Zoo makes my heart beat Australian blood so much. True Blue, indeed. Love ya, Steve. The zoo looks amazing!
P.S. Recently corresponded to John Williamson about what this song means to me. He was very appreciative and pleasantly surprised that this song struck a chord outside of Australia. Very humble.
Good on ya Angus, you can be an honorary Aussie mate!
It hurts me a little knowing that I’m to young to have had this man be someone I could look up to when I was younger but he’s still a hero to my generation now.
I cried more at watching Steve's funeral than I did at my own father's funeral.
Steve, you are a true blue Aussie legend and you'll live on forever in all of our hearts.
Rest in peace.
Still gives me a lump in my throat thinking of this day, and bindi's speech brings me to tears.. Steve Irwin a true Aussie legend..
This clip still gets me, everytime. Just like it did when I watched it live as a teenager. We really were lucky to be able to call this great man one of our own.
I admit that when I watched CH for the first time I had said/thought, "This guy's nuts!" But the more I watched the less I thought that. I have never seen someone so passionate about wildlife. We all miss you.
I remember it like it was yesterday, we lost Peter Brock and Steve Irwin in such a short period. I just hope Steve knew how loved he was, not just in Australia but throughout the world 😢
Hard to believe that Bindi and Rob will be 18 years without their Dad this year. I know many people lose parents at a young age, but for many of us, he was indeed a father figure, and one who instilled the love of Australia and nature within many children.
i was there at The memorial.It was such an sad emotional day.I am so happy that i Met Steve before he passed.What a top aussie bloke so down to earth and i love what he did for the animals and conservation.Dearly missed always Steve .
It was said, after Steve's passing, that ' the animals had lost their best friend.'. Truer words were never said.
Was it free to get in? Stupid question but stranger things have happened.
Steve Irwin is the reason I am so into animals. If I could go back in time and stop him from seeing the stingrays, I would.
He probably even loved the stingray that killed him. the stingray just couldn't hear him say "you're all right!"
I think we all would. 💔
LOL I think Steve would too. Being killed by a harrassed fish is a ridiculous way to go.
@@NinoNiemanThe1st TOO early(((
Happy 60th Steve, will always be in our hearts 💚
This gets your hair standing up. What an inspirational song and person. R.I.P Steve Irwin.
It'd want to, his wife Terry had him killed.
Rest In Peace mate you truly were taken from us too bloody soon 10 /11 years later still feels like only yesterday to us who grew up watching you and nobody can ever replace Steve Irwin
I guarantee you will never find a better croc hunter like Steve Irwin
REST IN PARADISE YOU LEGEND
🖤💛♥️
Have so many memories of a kid of waking up on a Saturday morning to watch the crocodile hunter on tv. Steve Irwin was such a positive impact on my childhood. I love you for it Steve, a proper bloke with proper values and morale. Planet earth lost a soldier that day but we meet again.
One of the greatest Australians of all time. We love and miss you mate. RIP Steve, you bloody legend.
+F Hugh stay off the Meth dude, that shit melts your brain!
It’s 2018 and I am still crying about this omg
Proud to be Australian knowing we have great hero's like steve
Makes me cry every time i hear this song...steve was a true blue aussie..who was the livin embodiment of Australia itself..rest easy steve..ill have a cold one for ya tonight mate.😔🇦🇺❤️
It's 2020 but this still brings me to tears. Rip you legend.
Cry every time I watch this.
Still brings a tear to my eye...we lost a true Aussie legend. Rest in peace Steve.
Goodbye Steve, you left a hole in our country no one has been able to fill since, you will always be missed :(
Jordan Panella I wouldn't worry only the type of person who's butt ugly themselves and likely never kissed a girl would right this. He probably also works in a warehouse or is on welfare haha
Definitely Not Ben i
2024 and it still tears me up…
Having a beer for this legend, done more for Australia then anyone ever will
Beautiful Tribute .... you will not be Forgotten Steve
I remember going to work in the car and heard on the radio Steve Irwin died. I got to our car park turned of the car and cried. I grew up watching this legend. Never wont miss you our man. ❤
He was loved by the whole world 🙏❤ i felt his spirit . Pure joy and happiness. We have much to learn. Rest in peace mate🌏🙏🐎🐴🐕🐶🐆🐅🦍🐒🐯🦁🐂🐃🐺🦒🐫🐾🐾🐾🐾🐼🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊🐍🐍🐍🐍❤❤🦎🦎🦎🦎🐢🐢🐢🐢
12 years later and his beautiful wife and his two remarkable children continue his amazing legacy proudly and to continue the mission of saving wildlife and preserving it. Steve would be looking down on his family with tears of joy, love and proudness! It’s 2018 now & there’s not a day where the world doesn’t miss this amazing man, Steve Irwin!! You were one of a kind, mate! RIP !!
I love that Robert recreated one of Steve's most iconic photos at tree same spot in the same clothes with the cam crocodile google it is sad but amazing
Every time I hear this song tears well up & a few manage to slip out 😪 I really love this song ❤ And I miss the Crocodile Hunter 😪 .. This song has been going thru my head almost all day..(sigh)
Hi I live in the UK I've always been fascinated with the wildlife in the UK and also when I get time to go to Tenerife but be quite honest if it wasn't for Steve Irwin I don't think I'd be where I am now I still watch programmes programmes on RUclips I'm still gaining more and more knowledge thank you Steve Irwin you are a legend. 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇬🇧🇦🇺
An Aussie Legend, who is still sorely missed. Never forgotten and Happy Birthday Legend!
I'm an American but I watched his show growing up! I'm over here bawling my heart out! He's a legend and always will be! He was an amazing guy and an amazing husband and father! He along with other legends will always be in my heart! You brought so many of us joy and love and I wish you could be here to see it all! R.i.p! 😭😭❤❤❤❤
AUSTRALIA'S BEST STORY TELLER EVER.. 🎸❤
REST PEACEFUL STEVE..MISS YOUR GREAT SHOWS..💔
2022 STILL SOUNDS SO GREAT🎸🎶
Watching this in 2019 and I still remember it like it was yesterday when we lost the 2 greatest Aussie icons in a matter of weeks Steve Irwin and Peter Brock. Rest In Peace you bloody legends
Always brings a tear to my eye. There are people in life, famous or not who touch your heart.
Going on 8 years and I still cry like a baby when I see this. I even named a new kitten that wandered up during that time Bindi. That cat still follows me wherever I go. Still missing ya Steve!
Going on 14 years and I still cry like a baby when I think of him
I never missed an episode of the crocodile hunter, and I watch them still. I learned so much from him. And he will never be forgotten. I wish he were still here.
2022....and im still crying along with this. It was a very sad loss.
Steve Irwin is a perfect example of True Blue. Forever the Aussie legend
RIP Steve, still miss your energy and kindness all these years later.
A beautiful song for a lovely man who showed us all nature at its best, may his memory always be equated with what he achieved in his life !!
I always admired Steve but until I saw this tribute, I never wept for him. Now, I do so for his family, the legacy he has left behind. I noticed as I watched, that I am not alone. This is the first time I saw this.
Terri, Bindi and Robert are doing a beautiful job keeping up with Steve's dream.
my friend can't listen to this song without crying, as someone who lived closed to Australia zoo we were young when we met steve once about 18-20 odd years ago :( RIP
crying in brazil.. so SAD, rip steve
RIP Steve Irwin 9 years on and u will never be forgotton 🐊🐍💚😢
amen brother
I agree with that guy
Never forgotten... His legacy lives on in the heart of Australia.... Rip Steve
Next Month Mark's 10 Years Since Steve Died So Sad RIP Steve 1962-2006 Aged 44 G.B.N.F 🐍😢❤
All these years later this is still hard to watch, I use to see Steve nearly every sunday back in the 80's. Blessings to Steve's family, .
Steve Irwin the force of the whirl wind of life. He lived his life to the fullest and never wasted a minute of life's treasurable moments. Steve Irwin was a blessing to the planet earth. He is sorely missed. My blessings and condolences to his family and to all those who loved him all around this great big world. Steve Erwin thank you for all the fun. May you rest in peace and shine down upon all of us. From above please help to keep our planet safe and in habitable for generations to come.
I always wanted to meet him when I heard he died I cryed so hard. He is a true loss to this world.
Truly an amazing man and a role model for anyone, I'll never forget how i felt hearing the news... at first just disbelief... then just utter sadness at a terrible loss...Miss you very much Blue
He was the main reason I took my trip to OZ in 2006. What a character he was, in a great way. He loved nature, his wife and kids. His emotions were on his sleeve all the time. I watched this live from my office where I did not hold back my tears.
I remember I was 15 at high school. Watched it on TV and cried. He was like the father we never had.
What a blessing he was to the animals & humanity ... I also didn't realize how little his son was & his daughter's words to him were awesome ; RIP 🌹🖤
In sad times like this, it’s always wonderful to think that no matter where he is now in the after life from now on, he left a great legacy behind for his family and his fans! It’s 2018, and I’m still a big fan of his work! May Steve Irwin RIP forever!

Good ay DJ, RIP it means rest in peace but also means under current beware. On a beach the RIP can drag you to deep water and drown you. RIP beware my fellow travellers. But never panic. We have LIFE GUARDS in Australia that protect and Save. We are True Blue. True fucking Blue my brothers and Sisters. True pumping Blue. Safe Travels Love U All
Miss you Steve , I did take my daughter to your croc farm before you passed away , I’m so proud of how your daughter and wife have now progressed into your same leadership ….
I had the opportunity to meet Steve briefly at the ettamogah pub!. He was having a beer and a feed with some of other blokes. He came up to the bar while I was getting drinks and couldn't carry them all. He said " here luv let me help you!". I think I blushed a bit and he walked over to the table with me and said hello to the family and headed back over to the table where he was with some other men!
Nicest bloke you could ever meet!. I cried when he passed and was pregnant with my daughter. Each year I remember him.
