Washington Post has an article about this - https://www.washingtonpost.com/trave...d-lost-laptop/

A laptop slipped through side wall into cargo hold.

I'm a bit curious why it didn't return only to EWR, or even BOS, for the check . . . though perhaps they didn't know if plane would need to go fully out of service and flight be cancelled, which is better to do in originating airport.
