I believe you have put a statement in the piece you wrote that Ayrtons Parents flew to the hospital in Italy, well they did not there was no time and his life support was not turned off his heart arrested for the second time and the doctor said not to resucitate, so he passed away before they could get there.

AYRTON SENNA is Only and Single CHAMPION. The others are only of blades imitations. If their car were not powerful as much, they would be in last position.
SENNA even with a car in lower part of the others arrived by its only TALENT has to obtain the Pole Position while the others in spite of their car were far behind him. There is only Nigel Mansell to have recognized it. Without logistics, They Are Nothing.
Because if with a powerful car they are far behind SENNA then you imagine with an identical car.
This sport died on MAY 1 1994, the Day when they have Kill
AYRTON SENNA.

Aryton Senna for me is Formula One racing, its heart and soul. When he
was killed, the sport was torn from its epicentre, its roots.
The changes that were made, largely to improve safety and to slow
the cornering speed of the cars, were expected, but for me the racing
suffered.
Ofcourse, other great drivers followed in Senna’s wake. Michael
Schumacher, Mika Hakkinen, Juan Pablo Montoya, to name a few.
None of those drivers though, could inspire the senses as effectively
as Aryton Senna. None of those battles could inspire the crowds as
much as those between Senna and Alain Prost, or Nigel Mansell.
From 2000 to 2004, Michael Schumacher has reigned supreme. The best
driver in the best team. His rivals have never even put him under that much
pressure, due to his car being ‘that’ good.
The sport suffered badly from this, and incidents such as the finish of
the 2002 Austrian Grand Prix for instance. Everybody knew that Schumacher would win the race, season after season, even before the race
had started. He needed a counterbalance, someone else who was strong
enough with a fast enough car to challenge him.
In Fernando Alonso we found a counterbalance. Kimi Raikkonen and
Lewis Hamilton now provide us with a bright future, sadly without the
genius of Schumacher to compare against.
The true tragedy of Aryton Senna’s death was that it deprived the world
of the highly anticipated battle with Michael Schumacher, which promised
to be every bit as electric as the ones with Prost and Mansell.
From 1992 to 1997, Williams were a top running team. They won the
championship in 1996 and 1997. With Aryton Senna still racing, many,
including myself would wager that the tally could have been even higher.
Alas, that was not to be! I will forever remember the afternoon of
May 1st 1994. I will remember where I was and what I was doing at that
precise moment. Adeu Aryton Senna, if there is a racetrack in heaven,
you are probably giving Jim Clark, Jochen Rindt, and Gilles Villeneuve
one hell of a race.
R.I.P.
