2 people were killed when this apparently shoddy elevated bike path collapsed recently.  (the casualties were not Olympic bikers)

Considering the relative lightness of bicycles, one might think designing and building an elevated structure for them would not be that difficult.  Unclear so far if it is a material, design, or construction problem, I suppose it could be an unsavory mix of 2 or 3 causes . . . .
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
