Kudos to ORD baggage handlers
I am the first to criticize and often the last to compliment. We took off 2 hours late, with the weather related/air control problems on Friday from EWR. Landed in ORD with 15 minutes to get to our LAX connection. I asked the FA to have the pilot announce "Connecting passengers to deplane first", which he did. We ran to our connecting flight and dreaded the no bags (for 3 passengers) when we landed at LAX at 12:15 AM. To my surprise, our bags all arrived. I don't know how they did it, but congrats to the ORD baggage handlers on that transfer!
