A nurse is being hailed for her heroic actions after she saved a 3-month-old baby who had stopped breathing during a flight from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to Orlando, Florida.

The nurse, Tamara Panzino, was on Spirit Airlines Flight 1691 Thursday night when baby Anjelé suffered a medical emergency about 30 minutes after takeoff, according to Fox affiliate of Orlando.

She said she immediately jumped into action and started massaging the baby’s chest and legs. The baby soon started breathing again.

The news station’s meteorologist Ian Cassette was on the flight and witnessed the incident. “On my flight back from Pittsburgh to Orlando, a baby stopped breathing three rows ahead of me. Thankfully a nurse (Tamara Panzino) was able to get the baby to breathe again,” Cassette wrote in a series of tweets alongside a video of passengers clapping and cheering for Panzino.
