Steve Irwin's Wife: His Death Will Never Air

In the first interview she has given since her husband's sudden death, Terri Irwin tells ABC's 20/20 that Steve's final moments, caught on film by the cameraman covering his ill-fated Sept. 4 expedition, will never be seen on television. "It won't be, no. No. What purpose would that serve?" she says, adding that she herself has not seen the footage. Traveling in southern Australia with their kids, ages 8 and 2, when she got word of the tragic incident, Terri says, "It was an accident so stupid, like running with a pencil. It was a risk he was taking. And I couldn't fall to pieces because the children were there."
