A Florida woman traveling out of town unexpectedly gave birth to a baby boy in the ticketing area of Miami International Airport.
Just after 5 p.m. on Tuesday, a female passenger at Miami's largest airport went into labor in the pre-security area, causing airport staff and emergency responders to jump into action.
Just after the woman's water broke, a group of Miami-Dade Fire Rescue, police officers, U.S. Customs, Border Protection agents, and airport staff all responded to the situation quickly.
At first some thought the woman was experiencing a miscarriage.
"Responding to Door 3, pregnant female. Possible miscarriage outside of Door 3 departures," a 911 dispatcher said. "Door 3 departures, Rescue 40."
As each individual assisted with the delivery, they soon found out she gave birth to a healthy baby boy.
"It's alive! It's alive?" an official told a 911 operator.
Following the birth, the mother and baby were taken to a nearby hospital for further care and evaluation.
Updates on their condition have not been provided.
