Man helps wife deliver baby on side of highway, uses phone chargers to tie umbilical cord
The couple delivered the baby on the side of the highway
In a bizarre incident, a couple in the United States recently delivered their baby on the side of a highway with the help of two nearby phone chargers.
Taking to Facebook, Emily Waddell, revealed that she was on her way to the hospital with her husband, Stephan Waddell, when she realised she was not going to make it on time. She immediately asked Mr Stephan to pull the car over on the side of Interstate 69, where their daughter Reagan was then born, weighing seven pounds and 10 ounces on September 12.
In the post, Ms Emily wrote that she told her husband she did not want to have the baby in a truck just moments before making him pull over.
Mr Stephan then pulled off the interstate where he assisted his wife to deliver their daughter. Ms Emily revealed that after successful delivery, she had to suction out the baby’s mouth and nose while Mr Stephan worked to tie off the umbilical cord.
“Stephan used two phone chargers to tie off the umbilical cord while I suctioned her mouth and nose out with my mouth — which is very difficult when you just pushed a baby on the side of the road.” she wrote on Facebook. — ndtv.com
A 98-year-old British World War II veteran, Harry Heasman officially became the world’s oldest wing walker when he stood atop a flying plane in England.
He spent more than 9 minutes atop the plane at a height of over 1,000 feet on Saturday at Duxford Airfield in Cambridge.
A Guinness World Records adjudicator was on hand to officially certify Heasman as the world’s oldest wing walker.
“I have dreamed of doing this since I was a young child and to finally live that dream at 98 years old and to be a Guinness World Records title holder is beyond anything I could have ever imagined,” Heasman told Guinness World Records.
The nonagenarian said he spent 11 months working with a physical trainer to get his body and mind ready for the attempt.
His record attempt raised money for the Lennox Children’s Cancer Fund and served as a tribute to his wife and son, who both died after battles with cancer.
“Harry is proof that it is never too late to chase a dream. At 98 years old, what he has achieved is nothing short of extraordinary. Over the last few months, I’ve had the privilege of getting to know him and seeing the determination behind this challenge,” said Lindsey Bidwell, a representative from the Lennox Children’s Cancer Fund.
