There are numerous reasons that add to the significance of Senna's death.  Yes he had his faults, but even with those faults he was certainly one of the greatest of the modern era, possibly even the greatest.  What many don't realise he is the only Formula One World Champion in the sports history to die in a Formula One Grand Prix.  Others have been killed in GP's but not F1 World Champions. Other F1 Champions have died in other formulas or testing, but never in a Grand Prix.  Only Senna lost his life during a Formula One GP.  That may not mean much to some people but it had a hell of an impact on me.
