Talk about spilling her carry-on luggage. A woman on board Southwest Airlines flight 441 from Chicago’s Midway Airport Friday, December 4, 2009, went into labor at 30,000 feet over Colorado enroute to Salt Lake City. Fortunately, there was a doctor on board as well as two nurses. Attendants placed a blanket on the floor of the plane’s rear galley and within five minutes a one-month premature baby boy had emerged.
The physician, who was headed for a ski vacation, used his own shoe laces to tie off the umbilical cord until a child’s scissors were located and the cord was cut. The pilot made an emergency landing in Denver where EMTs rushed mother an baby to the Aurora Medical Center where both are said to be doing well. Air male…special delivery.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful story. I’m glad I heard it from you!

That was a cute Air-Male story in the High-Miles Club, about a different twist to an old story.
