Typically, flying for the majority of us is pretty common. We get to the airport, park the car, get our ticket, go through security, go the gate, and board the plane. The plane will then take us from point A to point B with maybe a cocktail in midair and that's about it, right? For this lady on the way to the Philippines, her flight was anything but normal.

According to a passenger who witnessed the event, a pregnant woman was having contractions in mid-flight and then began to crown. The witness said the flight attendants began to really worry once it got to this point:

For once in my life, I saw flight attendants, who are meant to always maintain their poise and composure, panic ever so slightly. Flight attendants started calling for medical assistance, and luckily, there were two nurses among the passengers. She was already crowning, so she was brought to the more spacious area in front of the plane.

But once they got the woman securely to an open space in front of the plane, the baby was born, as "little screeches" were heard throughout the plane. Passengers bound together and helped provide clothing while the flight attendants also got mineral water to make a makeshift bath. Since the baby was born two months premature, the plane was forced to land in India.

The big question, though, is what kind of citizenship will the baby hold? Will it be native to India? The Philippines? Regardless of the nationality, we are glad to hear the baby was born healthy and that the mother seems to be doing well.
