Thanks for posting that. A very in-depth and moving piece.
I remember that day. I was working at a gas station that morning and had taped the race to watch when I got home. The first guy into the station asks: "Are you a Formula 1 fan?"
"The biggest," I said.
He went on to tell that me that Senna had been killed in the race. I told him, no, that was a young driver name Ratzenburger, in qualifying yesterday. No matter what he said I didn't believe him, I though he must have it wrong.
About an hour later a friend who never visited me at work drove into the station, and just seeing him arrive I knew that it was actually true.
You had to admire the absolute commitment he had, and the sheer ability. He was a head and shoulders above. A very sad weekend that didn't get much better at the next event.
