U.S. Federal Aviation Administration ‌head Bryan Bedford said his agency ⁠accepted findings by the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board that a series ​of systemic failures by ‍the FAA led to a devastating mid-air collision that killed 67 ⁠people ‌last ⁠year.

"We don't disagree with anything ‍that the NTSB has concluded from ​their investigations. Many of ⁠the recommendations have already been put ⁠into action. Those that haven't, we're going to evaluate," ⁠Bedford told reporters on the ⁠sidelines ‌of an aviation conference in Singapore.
