Woman gives birth aboard flight

SAINT JOHN'S, Newfoundland, Aug. 18 (UPI) -- A KLM flight from Amsterdam to Chicago was diverted to Canada Tuesday as three doctors aboard helped a woman give birth somewhere above the Atlantic.

The unidentified Jordanian mother and her newborn girl were doing well at a hospital in St. Johns, Newfoundland, the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. reported.

Kelly Jamieson, operations manager at the Newfoundland airport, said the baby will have quite a story to tell when she grows up.

After the mother and her child deplaned, the flight resumed its journey to Chicago with only a four-hour delay.
