Woman Delivers Baby Midflight

A woman went into labour while on an international flight to Atlanta. She was lucky as the plane was had a doctor, a passenger who volunteered his shoelace to tie off the umbilical cord and a flight attendant who gathered towels and gloves and soaked the shoelace in a cup of vodka to sterilize it.

The plane was later diverted to  Dakar, where the woman could receive medical attention.
