Baby delivered midflight thanks to everyday heroes
4/5/2012On an international flight to Atlanta, a woman traveling alone went into labor. Luckily for her, she was in a plane full of everyday heroes, including a doctor, a MacGyver-type passenger who volunteered his shoelace to tie off the umbilical cord, and a clever flight attendant (who gathered towels and gloves and soaked the shoelace in a cup of vodka to sterilize it). A healthy baby boy was delivered midair to the applause of passengers, before the plane was diverted to Dakar, Senegal, where the new mom could receive medical attention.
Would you help with a midflight delivery or demand a refund at the arrival gate?
