PARTICULAR PERSON OR IN THIS CASE A COMPANY IS WRONG, IS DOING SOMETHING CRIMINAL. >> DANNY CEVALLOS WEATHER WATCH ON THAT ONE. >>> RIGGING NEWS IN THE LAST HOUR. REPORTS OF A CLOSE CALL INVOLVING A SOUTHWEST FLIGHT IN OKLAHOMA. APPARENTLY THIS AIRPLANE SUPERLOW OVER A SUBURB OF OKLAHOMA CITY, BASICALLY HUNDREDS OF FEET ABOVE THE TOW , CARRYING A WHOLE BUNCH OF FOLKS. SOME PEOPLE WERE LIKE WHAT'S GOING ON. TOM COSTELLO HAS MORE. EXPLAIN TO US WHAT WE ARE LOOKING AT. >> Reporter: THIS WAS SOUTHWEST FLIGHT 4069 COMING FROM LAS VEGAS INTO OKLAHOMA CITY AT ABOUT 12:30 A.M., MIDNIGHT: 30 JUST THIS MORNING, AND SUDDENLY AS IT WAS COMING INTO RUNWAY 13, IT CAME IN WAY TOO LOW, SO LOW, 525 FEET OFF OF THE GROUN , ALTITUDE, LOW ALTITUDE WARNINGS WERE TRIGGERED INSIDE THE CONTROL TOWER AT THE OKLAHOMA CITY AIRPORT. THEY RADIOED THE PILOT AND SAID IS EVERYTHING OKAY. THE PILOT SAID YES, GOING AROUND. THEY CIRCLED AROUND, HAD NORMAL ALTITUDE, NORMAL SPEED, AND THEN LANDED ON A DIFFERENT RUNWAY AND EVERYBODY WAS SAFE. THE QUESTION IS WHY WAS THIS PLANE, IN THE WORDS OF NBC NEWS AVIATION EXPERT CAPTAIN JOHN COX, COMING IN VERY LOW AND VERY SLOW WHEN IT WAS EIGHT MILES OUT FROM THE RUNWAY, FAR TOO LOW AND FAR TOO SLOW WHEN YOU ARE SO FAR OUT. THE FAA SAYS IT IS INVESTIGATING SOUTHWEST AIRLINES . IN A STATEMENT NBC NEWS IS A IN FACT IT IS WORKING WITH THE FAA TO UNDERSTAND AND ADDRESS ANY IRREGULARITIES WITH THE AIRCRAFT'S APPROACH TO THE AIRPORT. ALL OF SOUTHWEST PLANES OR 737 , SO THE QUESTION REALLY IS NOT A MATTER OF EQUIPMENT. THE MATTER IS WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN GOING ON IN THE COCKPIT THAT LEAD THAT CREW TO COME IN AT AN ALTITUDE AND A SPEED THAT WAS CLEARLY NOT OPTIMA
