It was frigid and snowing heavily at Chicago’s Midway Airport on Dec. 8, 2005. Runway 13C was out of action with a runway visual range (RVR) of just 4,500 feet—below minimums. So, like other flights before it, Southwest Flight 1248 made its approach to Runway 31C, despite an 11-knot tailwind. The aircraft touched down normally, but the crew did not initiate reverse thrust until 18 seconds later, with just 1,000 feet of runway left, according to the cockpit data recorder

SWA 1248 didn’t stop. Instead, it ran off the departure end of the runway, through a fence and onto Central Avenue just south of 55th Street, striking two cars. Inside one of them, six-year-old Joshua Woods was killed. A dozen people were hurt.
