A routine Delta Air Lines flight from Atlanta to Portland, Oregon, turned into an emergency delivery room in the sky when Tennessee passenger Ashley Blair went into labor mid-flight and gave birth to her daughter just minutes before landing. It all happened with the help of two off-duty paramedics who were on board.
The baby, Brielle Renee Blair, arrived about two weeks early on the April 24 flight after Ashley began experiencing strong contractions roughly 30 minutes from Portland International Airport. The aircraft was carrying about 153 passengers when the medical emergency unfolded.
