The unnamed 32-weeks pregnant woman was flying from her home country of
Taiwan to Los Angeles with China Airlines when she went into labour.
According to reports, when her water broke six hours into the 19-hour
flight, panicked staff called for medical assistance on the flight.
Fortunately, a doctor responded and was able to successfully deliver the
baby girl while being filmed.
Amira Rajput, a passenger on same flight who filmed the video praised
the new mother.
"The woman is tough as nails," Amira Rajput told ABC. "People were
super quiet and calm so that this woman could have a stress-free
experience."
The plane then made an emergency landing at the Ted Stevens
International Airport in Anchorage, Alaska, where mother and daughter
were taken to hospital.
The plane continued its journey to Los Angeles, after being refuelled.
Both mother and child are reported to be in a good condition.The
nationality of the baby girl will depend upon the birth certificate
issued by the Anchorage hospital as she was born in US airspace but
on-board a Republic of China aircraft.
