Steve Irwin
Steve Irwin was everyone’s favorite “Crocodile Hunter.” He was a well known Australian nature expert and television personality. However on the 4th of September in 2006, just ten years ago, Irwin was pierced in the chest by a stingray barb while he was filming an underwater documentary film called Ocean’s Deadliest. In his honor, the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society ship was named after him, ‘MY Steve Irwin’.

Chris McCandless
On September 6th of 1992, the decomposed body of hiker Chris McCandless was discovered by some moose hunters just outside of Denali National Park. Chris was 24 when he died and he was found inside of a rusting bus that served as a makeshift shelter for trappers, dog mushers, and other backcountry visitors. Tragically though, Chris had taped a note outside of the door saying that was in need of medical attention, that he was searching for berries to eat so don’t leave, just wait for his return. It was the story of Chris that sparked the book and movie Into The Wild.
