You know - this is a wonderful story - we have a business acquaintance who took his pregnant wife for one last “fling” before their twins were born. She was about 6 months preggo and the doctor approved her going on a cruise, as long as she didn’t over exert herself. The rocking of the ship sent her into labor and there was no option but to put her on land in Mexico. The authorities wouldn’t allow anyone (MEDEVAC, etc) to land in their country and come get her and the twins, and because the medical facilities were so basic, they basically had to watch the twins die. It truly is a miracle for this girl that the USS Reagan was nearby and could help. I shudder to think what might have happened otherwise.
I can see why landing this girl in Mexico was not an option. Too bad we have a backwards and hostile nation south of our border.
