In the rarest of occurrences, a woman gave birth to a child onboard a Los Angeles-bound China Airlines flight after she unexpectedly went into labour.

In a video shared by the BBC, crew members of the flight and fellow passengers can be seen cheering the delivery of the baby onboard the China Airlines flight.  

Incidentally, the plane had to make an unscheduled landing in Alaska as the mother and newborn had to be shifted to a hospital.

The doctor who tended to the pregnant mother while she was delivering the baby girl was a co-passenger who had got on the flight from Bali.
