Incident: TAM Bolivia B462 enroute on Feb 14th 2010, impatient passenger

A TAM Transporte Aereo Militar Bolivia British Aerospace BAe 146-200, flight 775 from Cochabamba to La Paz (Bolivia), was a few minutes into the 35 minutes hop, when a female passenger released a cry prompting a doctor on board to rush to assistance. Just before the airplane landed in La Paz another cry was heard in the cabin, this time a new born girl making her presence known prompting the rest of the passengers to cheer. The airplane landed safely, mother and baby were taken to a local hospital for a check up and were found well.
