Tamara Panzino is a nurse who was on a flight to Florida when a baby suffered a medical emergency.

"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.
They baby's parents said they were terrified and had never experienced anything like that.
"They praised the positive energy of the plane and the heroic actions of Tamara for saving her," Cassette tweeted.
