An LA doctor flying home from her honeymoon on Oct. 7 ended up delivering a baby on the flight while 30,000 feet in the air when a passenger went into early labor. Dr. Angelica Zen, a resident physician at UCLA, was on the Air China flight from Taiwan to LA after spending her honeymoon in Bali. She told KABC-TV that the flight attendants acted as stand-in nurses, and most passengers were asleep until the cabin lights came on for the delivery. She said that the baby looked healthy and the mother was happy. [Additional reporting by The Associated Press]
