From the Daily Mail:
A woman has given birth to her baby in a toilet on an airplane - and then left the child behind in the rubbish bin when she disembarked.
The Samoan woman gave birth in one of the plane's toilets during the Pacific Blue flight to Auckland early yesterday, New Zealand media reported.
It is believed the infant was found by an airline worker in the toilet rubbish bin more than an hour after the plane landed.
Authorities only discovered something was wrong after the mother approached them saying she had misplaced her passport. They noticed she was pale and blood-stained.
Pacific Blue crew are mystified at how the birth took place unnoticed, the Chief Officer's Network reported.
The flight is only three and a half hours long - meaning that for a passenger to go missing for a long time could reasonably be expected to be noticed.
Both mother and child are now recovering in hospital in New Zealand.
