It's sadly ironic that Steve Irwin died in a tragic accident involving a sting ray, which are usually harmless, as opposed to a venomous snake or crocodile. At least Irwin seemed to be calm when he realised that he was dying, and didn't even blame the sting ray, saying that it didn't mean to injure him so badly.

[@tcttvradio]

Sting rays are venomous and you are not meant to swim over them, they can see up but not down. He must’ve resembled a shark as he swam over it because it stung him over a hundred times in a couple seconds directly in the chest. It was both their faults and it fully intended on killing him. I went to his zoo and got to see the funeral footage on the big screen.

[@hjusn]

He always said that he would probably get killed by a marine animal. Land creatures were a part of his life since childhood but the ocean wasn’t his element. Sadly, he was making a special for children in honor of his daughter when the stingray felt threatened by the presence of him and the cameraman and flicked its tail. The barb struck him in the heart. Anywhere else he would have survived.

[@DMBFAN90]

Unfortunately sting rays are far more dangerous than people think.

I live in "Earnhardt Country". We're very protective of the Earnhardt family here, except Teresa. I went to high school with Teresa. Dale taught my driver ed class because Teresa got him into trouble. He used to do burn outs in the parking lot every Friday when he picked her up from school. The local police here (Boss Hogg G Tolbert) busted Dale for "destruction of property". He got fined to repave the parking lot, which was mostly gravel then anyway and he had to teach my Driver Ed class for one afternoon as community service. He taught us about racing, how much he loved it, and signed autographs. This was 1979. I was one of the one's protesting Teresa wanting to turn Dale's farmland into a business zone. The City agreed with us.

[@gregd4633]

I was going to ask you why you’re not fond about Teresa Earnhardt, but after reading your comment I understand now. Was she trying to turn his farmland into a museum or something? Your comment was very interesting, and I’m craving for more information if you don’t mind sharing

[@Pensfan5919]

Antivenom, but yes. That could’ve saved her life.

[@caltoonfangirl7109]

Yeah. That’s why I don’t find her death all that sympathetic, tbh. I am sad that she died, don’t get me wrong, but she could’ve easily prevented it if she didn’t handle snakes, especially a venomous one like the King Cobra, carelessly, like she did. I felt like she shouldn’t have handled snakes at all if she was just going to provoke them by throwing them around like rag dolls, but if I were her; I would use non-venomous snakes, handle them with care, and MAKE SURE THEY WERE DEFANGED. However, if I did end up getting bit by that King Cobra (I wouldn’t want to be near it, because I’m deathly afraid of snakes, but hypothetically speaking); I’d take a ten to twenty minute recess, so I could get the antivenom. That way, I could still perform without running the risk of traumatizing my audience. She did everything wrong in that situation, if you ask me.

Bassist Awal "Bani" Purbani, guitarist Herman Sikumbang and drummer Windu Andi Darmawan of the band Seventeen - On December 22, 2018, a volcanic eruption triggered a tsunami that devastated almost 200 miles of coastline. Part of the affected region included Pandeglang, Indonesia. While the band Seventeen were performing a set when the wall of water crashed ashore and laid waste to everything in its path, which included the Seventeen concert . The wave laid waste to almost 200 miles of coastline and killed 426 people, three of which included the bassist, guitarist and drummer of Seventeen, leaving the lead vocalist to be the only band member to survive the tragedy.

24:40 You left out the fact that director John Landis was heard shouting to the pilot of the helicopter to fly lower near the actors, and that the falling helicopter blades decapitated Vic Morrow and 7-year-old Myca Dinh Le, and its skid crushed 6-year-old Renee Shin-Yi Chen to death. Landis and several others involved in the film were tried for manslaughter and, thanks to their high priced lawyers, got off scot-free. Landis was the one who came up with this idea of the scene with Morrow and the children crossing a river while the helicopter was flying low over them. Nobody should EVER pay money to see a John Landis movie. The guy is a criminal who got away with it and yet somehow still manages to find work in Hollyweird.

The R.P. announced what was going on at Bass Pro and was asking to anyone interested to come and see the tribute and pick up some collectables. When the R.P. went to play the next song, it happened to be Pink Floyd's "The Wall". I was standing about 10 feet away and, as bad as it was, I couldn't stop myself from laughing.

There were so many more layers to Edward Lee Morgan's death that wasn't mentioned in this video. 1) Lee wasn't just shot by a "girlfriend." it was his so-called common law wife (Helen Morgan). She killed him out of rage and jealous. 2) He was playing at a jazz club called Slugs (in NYC)when this event occurred. 3) Given that it was the early 70s (and yes, there was a bad ❄️ storm that happened), "first responders" neglected to reach him due to racial biases (this is a known fact). I'm not looking for anyone to agree with me regarding anything im saying. However, if you're gonna talk about a public figures, demise... either tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth or dont tell it at all.

Louis Vierne died while playing the organ. Fell over while his foot was still on a foot pedal key.
