Quilted together slings, and un-equalized sides of the anchor. Also, they clipped the tail loop of their double-overhand-on-a-bight instead of the load side of the knot.
Disregarding the purple cord, here is a clear example of the "Death Triangle". While it makes use of two bolts, it does not use them independently, if one side of the orange cord were to fail, the whole cord would. Here's a link to all the details:

Here we've got a microwave sized detached block used as a directional, which doesn't re-direct the rope. While failing its intended purpose, it endangers climbers, belayers, and innocent bystanders, hanging precariously, murderously, 20m off the ground.
Non redundant. Also, if you girth hitch a tree or other form of natural protection, align the hitch so that the load strand is not bent to reduce friction.
