Re: Good kid dies biking on Manhattan Bridge

"The son of Brooklyn Brewery co-founder and former Newsday editor Stephen 
Hindy, Sam Hindy of Brooklyn died Friday of head and torso injuries after
he 
fell from the upper deck of the Manhattan Bridge to the lower deck and was

struck by a car. He was 27. "

How did he manage to fall from the upper to lower deck? Was something
wrong 
with the bridge?

I think any kind of accident of this nature is tragic and sad...no matter
to 
whom it happens.
