ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Oct. 15 (UPI) — A woman gave birth at 30,000 feet on a flight between Taiwan and Los Angeles, a report said.
The Taiwanese woman was 32-weeks pregnant when her water broke aboard a China Airlines flight last week. Fortunately, a doctor was also on the flight.
Video taken by other passengers shows flight attendants assisting by holding up blankets. Passengers applauded as one of the flight attendants announces it’s a baby girl.
The plane made an emergency landing at Ted Stevens International Airport in Anchorage, Alaska, where the mother and newborn were taken to a nearby hospital. Both were reported to be in good condition.
The doctor that delivered the baby was returning from her honeymoon.
“The flight crew was very helpful bringing me any medical equipment, helping me out with the patient. They were basically like my stand-in nurses,” Angelica Zen said.
Because the baby was born in United States airspace, but aboard a Chinese plane, the girl’s nationality will be determined by the hospital.
