Three doctors are being celebrated as heroes after they helped a pregnant teenager and delivered her baby girl in Mexican airspace.
Abigail Amoretti, 17, boarded Avianca El Salvador flight TA450 at Augusto C. Sandino International Airport in Managua, Nicaragua and was traveling to Miami International Airport when the pilot diverted the airplane to Cancún International Airport on Thursday.
Dr. Raquel Rodríguez, also of Nicaragua, sprang into action when she heard Amoretti moaning in pain as she was in the restroom with her aunt while the airplane was 33,000 feet in the air.
Rodríguez, according to Nuevo Radio Ya, had blankets spread across the isle and had Amoretti lay on the floor. She then lowered her pants and noticed that baby's umbilical cord was hanging out of the womb.
Abigail Amoretti is escorted on a wheelchair in Cancún, Mexico, after she gave birth to a baby girl on an Avianca El Salvador flight that was headed from Managua, Nicaragua to Miami on Thursday. Her child was not breathing at first, was given CPR for about three minutes and then let out a cry about two minutes later
