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