I believe those could file in the 'better left unposted' catagory...

Really really sad photos dude!!! :( it is very nostalgic, i just remembered the moment I saw the crash, I was very young, I was with my dad watching the race, I just remember when my dad said "another legend is gone".....

Thanks to him (and many others), F1 cars today is much much safer than it used to be.

RIP. He'll always be remembered as a great racing driver.

name changed.

very sad to see, i always thought the last photo of him was one of him drinking from a water bottle in pit lane. don't know how they could allow these photos out.

[Mattk]

oh wow, that last pic is pretty bad to be shown I would say.

Yeah, this is pretty gruesome stuff. Stuff best left to the imagination.

[RC45]

The picture is "shocking" but not gruesome.

It is about the most tasteful way to view the badly "injured" - a picture on the stretcher.

It could be viewed as an accurate portrayal of an historic event.

So what exactly killed Senna? I see a large amount of blood has flowed from his nose and mouth indicating a severe blow to the head (?). Did a piece of shrapnel or something pierce his helmet?

[JoeHahn]

Wasnt it the wishbone to the head?

[nthfinity]

the tire flew off, and hit him in the head, which was the death blow... because of him, now F1 has cords attached to all 4 wheels.... remember the Kimi incodent in Germany last year? that tire was whipping close to his head when the suspension exploded... would've been damn scary too , i think.

honestly, i'm not disturbed by this photo... I try to shy away from most scenes of death; but this is something where people were actively trying to save his life... so its not all bad.

RIP Aryton

[nickthaskater]

Actively trying even though he's already dead in that photo. It's like seeing Superman with a flatline.

[TopGearNL]

Well I can't say nice post, but a well deserved and respectful post!

May sound crazy but if it wasn't for Senna's (and Ratzenbergers) death maybe many more drivers would have found death since many safety improvements and new rules/demands.

Only good thing that came of it really.

Good from you that you posted these pics, makes us not forget about him :wink:

[bultaco_metralla]

Ive never seen this photos, the last one ...... :( :( :(

i always thought the last photo of him was one of him drinking from a water bottle in pit lane.

Can you find that photo for me dude??

[nickthaskater]

Good from you that you posted these pics, makes us not forget about him :wink:
I don't think anyone is going to forget about him whether they saw his lifeless bloody face or not.

[a007apl]

The last photo its Roland Ratzenberger, not Senna :lol:

[nickthaskater]

The last photo its Roland Ratzenberger, not Senna :lol:
Just did a quick search, and yea you're right it is. Hard to tell from half of a bloody face...

And just out of curiosity, how is that the least bit funny?

[Toronto]

the tire did hit his helmet, but that didn't kill him. suspension attached to the tire pierced his visor and 'stabbed' him over the right eye causing an instant death. (yet italian authorities and track authorities say he was alive and died in the hospital, if so he still would of had massive brain damage and/or would be brain dead)

[kksh]

The Italian authorities didn't let him "die" on the track because of some thing they got there that they won't let him die on the track. So they artificially revived him. (kept his heart beating) and then stopped it when they got to the hospital after they got the consent from the family.

He was the best ever....

The last photo its Roland Ratzenberger, not Senna

Ratzenberger is often forgotten about. Poor him. The fact that he died in qualifying and the other guy was Senna meant his death was overshadowed. A lot of people also forget that Barrichello also suffered serious injury.
