If someone says Senna is at fault because he ordered some steering adjustment just makes me angry
I've got some unfortunate news for you then, as this has been testified as fact by both the technical team, and by fellow driver and teammate Damon Hill. If Senna said jump, I bet the whole team pretty much just asked how high.And I apologize for namecalling. If someone says Senna is at fault because he ordered some steering adjustment just makes me angry. Nevertheless. I am so sorry for namecalling.

.....and then it went missing. Convenient.The black box didn't go missing.
The FIA allowed Williams to retrieve it before the car was impounded by the Italian authorities
Pretty reckless if you ask me. So....it remains they are responsible.I've got some unfortunate news for you then, as this has been testified as fact by both the technical team, and by fellow driver and teammate Damon Hill. If Senna said jump, I bet the whole team pretty much just asked how high.
During the trials, a regional technical commissioner named Fabrizio Nosco testified that both of the vehicle's black boxes were intact, except for minor scratches. He said "I have seen thousands of these devices and removed them for checks. The two boxes were intact, even though they had some scratches. The Williams device looked to have survived the crash." In a move that apparently breached FIA regulations, Charlie Whiting, an FIA official, handed the black boxes to Williams before the regulating body's own investigation into the accident.
There wasn't a conspiracy...just a MASSIVE cover-up.
Someone Jerry rigged the steering column. It was cut and welded together again. Imagine that...welding a steering column that has to withstand that amount of pressure!
Someone should be in jail...either the idiot that welded it or the idiot that ordered it done....One of those people is VERY likely Patrick Head. But we'll never know because Williams lied and were evasive through the whole thing.
I generally agree with Chris that a broken steering column is a very likely cause of the accident. I watched the race live on TV, and as others here, I've been very interested in the entire incident and aftermath.
I've seen just about every video and still photo of the incident available, and in my opinion they offer evidence, though not absolute proof, of four reasonable explanations of Senna's crash.
Most of us have heard the possibility that the car grounded on the jabroc plate (I think they were using jabroc then, but not certain). This would of course cause a loss of tire traction, which at that corner, at that speed, would be disasterous. Two other possible causes would involve hitting something on the track. One theory holds that running over a discarded face-shield tear-off could cause just enough loss of traction on one tire to lose control, especially if Senna was right on the edge of tire adhesion, which he usually was.
Or he could have hit a piece of another car. There are photos shot by Cahier showing what looked like a Benetton blue colored piece, about the size of an apple, directly in Senna's line. The second photo in the series, shot after Senna had passed, showed that same blue piece appearing flattened, possibly by Senna's tire. That, too, could have caused a loss of control.
The final possibility, and the one most generally accepted, is that the steering column broke. I just recently saw the in-car video again, and I noticed something I'd missed before. In the video, you can see Senna's reflection in his left side mirror. And you can also see his left gloved hand, at the bottom right of the video.
Just at the point where he loses control, and just a frame or two before the in-car video ends, you can see Senna's left arm go straight up, just above his head. This motion did not look like his hand had slipped, but rather like he was raising his arm in the universal racing driver's sign to following cars that he had either lost power, or lost control. In those frames, the front left tire does not move at all, which suggests that the steering wheel -if Senna was trying to turn it - had no effect on the tire/wheel. Here's a link to that video:
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

There are a lot of motives for his early termination. And a lot of people with the means to make it happen.
Notice the satanic three finger (666) hand sign in that pic.quite an opinion
Wow amazing, rebuttal there. Truly breath taking. Have you tried law? I think you have a natural talent!This is all that came to mind.
