It was 20 years ago today that Ayrton Senna died in a crash in the San Marino Grand Prix, Imola, Italy. The day before, Roland Ratzenberger was killed in a crash during qualifying for the same race. And one day previous to that, Rubens Barrichello's car launched off of a curb and into a tire barrier durinf Friday practice. The car disintegrated around him but Rubens miraculously escaped without serious physical injury.
