Sij Hemal, 27, was returning from his best friend's wedding when he delivered a healthy baby boy on an Air France flight from Paris to New York...
Mother-of-two Toyin Ogundipe, 41, went into labour a week early while 35,000 feet in the air and four hours away from their destination...
Dr. Hemal used the flight's medical supplies to safely deliver the baby and used a shoestring to tie the umbilical cord before cutting it with scissors...
The baby, named Jake, was born after a 30-minute labour...
He now has a US passport because they were in US airspace; his mother is Nigerian and works in the UK...
A second-year urology resident jumped into action to deliver a fellow passenger's baby boy half-way through an eight-hour flight from Paris to New York.
Dr. Sij Hemal was awaiting a glass of champagne on the way home from his best friend's wedding when flight attendants asked for medical help over the loudspeaker.
Raising his hand, he was promptly asked to help Toyin Ogundipe, 41, who had gone into labour a week early - four hours from their destination and two hours away from a safe emergency landing.
