UPDATE - SW Airlines Plane Crash

Authorities issued the initial findings Friday of their investigation into what caused a Southwest jet to skid off a snow-covered runway and into a nearby intersection, killing a young boy in a passing car.

Meanwhile, the Boeing 737 remained in the intersection into which it crashed, and the passengers of Flight 1248 were still waiting for their luggage.
The plane, carrying 98 passengers and five crew members en route from Baltimore, Maryland, should be moved to a hangar Saturday morning.

Investigators will begin by weighing luggage and interviewing pilots. The flight data and cockpit voice recorders were retrieved, and investigators will review air traffic control tapes.

Data indicated it was traveling 152 mph when it landed and had slowed to 46 mph by the time it smashed through a barrier wall separating the runway from the residential and business districts around Midway and into the intersection of 55th Street and Central Avenue on the northwest side of the airport.

Six-year-old Joshua Woods was killed when the plane struck the car he and his family were in.
