The head of the Federal Aviation Administration says he won’t forget the 67 people who died when an airliner collided with an Army helicopter over Washington, D.C., in January. Bryan Bedford says he won’t allow operations in the airspace over the nation’s capital to revert back to the way they were before the crash. Bedford gave the House aviation subcommittee an update on a number of key concerns about his agency. Provisions in a major defense bill have been widely criticized by safety experts who say they will make flying riskier.
