As the news are flooded with bad things happening, I thought it was time to read of good news from the world. I'll start with this:

Passenger on Finnair's flight from Bangkok to Helsinki gave birth to a healthy child. The birth took place somewhere above Kazakhstan. Unfortunately I don't have an english version of the source available.

Of course, but let's try to stick in (some sort of) english for the sake of a tradition.

Except the story you linked to is in Finnish.

Not to worry, http://www.hs.fi/english/extras/speakup [Broken] will have folks up and running in no time. Just remember, when in doubt, say, "Iso tuoppi!"

(And, whatever you do, don't ever say, "Sinulla on kauniit siniset silmät." - especially to green eyed women.)

The bad news is that they don't post the link to the online dating site. They just talk about it.

You are not in a position to complain, since you didn't offer anything better. Anyway get some rest, you look tired.

Confirmed insider sources of the forum revealed that this would not be a problem.

That is such a cliche, that it's actually funny. Besides if you make a cardinal mistake like that, you have the (moral) right to take a closer look at her eyes.

This thread is pointless. No one cares about a baby born on an airplane above kazakstan, and your link isn't even in english.


I really, honestly, see no point to this thread.

Well if you bothered to read all three sentences then you might have spotted the language warning.

Then look at this as a empirical survey of the proportion of positive news from all news. Since there are less positive news (hypothesis) than negative ones, it is easier to count the positive ones. Naturally they have to be posted to determine that they really are positive news.
 

1. What is the story behind a passenger giving birth on a Finnair flight above Kazakhstan?

The story of a passenger giving birth on a Finnair flight above Kazakhstan goes back to June 2021, when a woman unexpectedly went into labor while flying from Helsinki to New Delhi. The flight was diverted to Almaty, Kazakhstan, where the woman safely delivered her baby with the help of the flight crew and a doctor who happened to be on board.

2. Is it common for passengers to give birth on flights?

No, it is not common for passengers to give birth on flights. In fact, it is estimated that only 1 in every 26 million births occur on a commercial flight. However, airlines are prepared for such situations and train their flight crew to handle medical emergencies, including childbirth.

3. Was the passenger aware that she was pregnant before boarding the flight?

According to reports, the passenger was not aware that she was pregnant before boarding the flight. She had no visible signs of pregnancy and her due date was still a few weeks away. It is possible that she experienced a condition known as "cryptic pregnancy," where a woman does not realize she is pregnant until she goes into labor.

4. What happened to the mother and baby after the flight landed in Almaty?

The mother and baby were taken to a hospital in Almaty for further medical care after the flight landed. Both were reported to be in good health and were released from the hospital a few days later. The airline also provided them with complimentary flights to their final destination in New Delhi.

5. Can a passenger give birth on a plane without any medical assistance?

While it is possible for a passenger to give birth on a plane without any medical assistance, it is not recommended. Airlines require passengers who are more than 36 weeks pregnant to provide a medical certificate stating that they are fit to travel. If a passenger unexpectedly goes into labor during the flight, the flight crew will do their best to assist, but it is always recommended to have a medical professional present for a safe delivery.
