A Chinese Airline flight was forced to make an emergency landing after a Taiwanese woman gave birth at 30,000 feet during a long distance flight.

According to Mirror, the woman, who had not reach the 32 week stage of pregnancy, alerted airline staff that her water had broken during the flight from Taiwna Taoyuan International Airport to Los Angeles. Fortunately, a doctor was on the plane and helped in delivering the baby girl.

The captain of the plane made an emergency landing at the Ted Stevens International Airport in Anchorage, US, where the mother who was travelling alone and the baby were both taken to hospital, where both of them were reported to be in healthy condition.

After taking out time to refuel, the plane continued its trip to Los Angeles, three hours behind schedule.
