Another passenger reported the woman screaming early on in the scheduled 12-hour Delta Airlines flight and crew prepared for the birth, collecting lubricant, gloves and sterilised scissors.

There just happened to be an OB-GYN on board who took over the delivery, helping the woman give birth to a healthy baby boy.
