Baby born at World Trade Center, first since 9/11

A New York woman delivered a healthy baby girl at the World Trade Center commuter station on Tuesday, the first birth at the site since the 9/11 attacks, officials said. The woman from Queens, who went into labour at full term, gave birth at the World Trade Center PATH station at 2:30 am, assisted by Port Authority police officers.
The baby girl is called Asenat and weighs six pounds, 14 oz (3.1 kilos). She was delivered by Officer Brian McGraw on the mezzanine concourse of the station, a spokesman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which operates the station, said. "The woman stated she felt the baby coming and the officers prepared the area and aided for a possible birth," the Port Authority said in a statement. "Emergency Medical Services arrived on the scene and within a couple of minutes the woman delivered a baby girl," it added. Asenat, her parents and her two-year-old brother were transported to Beekman Downtown Hospital in lower Manhattan.
