Nurse saves 3-month-old baby who stopped breathing in the middle of a Spirit flight

• A nurse has saved the life of a baby who stopped breathing on a Spirit airlines flight, Fox News 35 reports.
• The nurse jumped into action and massaged the baby's chest and legs to get her breathing again.

A nurse revived a baby who stopped breathing on a Spirit airlines flight from Pittsburgh to Orlando, earning rapturous applause from passengers and crew.

According to local Orland station Fox News 35 and a statement by the airline, the nurse intervened when the girl, named Anjelé, showed troubling signs in the flight on Thursday.

Fox 35's meteorologist, Ian Cassette, was aboard the flight — NK 1691 — and posted tweets and a video of what happened. He wrote that the three-month-old baby suddenly stopped breathing, terrifying her parents.

The nurse, Tamara Panzino, told Fox she intervened about 30 minutes into the flight. The station said that the baby started to breathe again after Panzino massaged its chest and legs.

According to FlightRadar24, the flight was mostly unaffected and arrived seven minutes ahead of schedule.

Cassette said the parents "praised the positive energy of the plane and the heroic actions of Tamara for saving her."

Cassette shared a video of Panzino holding the baby as she received a standing ovation from fellow passengers on the flight.

"When you have to step forward and do what's right, you do it. It was just a happy story, and it made me feel really good," Panzino told Fox.

In a statement sent to the station, a spokesperson for Spirit said "We're currently gathering information to learn more. We thank our crew and guest for the quick response."
