Admit it, you've forgotten something at some point in your life. If you're a nervous traveller, then chances are high that you've forgotten something at a busy airport at some point.

A mother has recently made headlines for forgetting her own baby at the airport. The Saudi mother accidentally left the little one at Jeddah’s King Abdulaziz International Airport and boarded the Saudi Arabian Airlines flight without a worry in the world.

Apparently, it wasn't until the aircraft had taken off from the airport that she realised the newborn wasn't with her. Her horrific realisation then forced the pilot to turn the plane back to the airport. 

According to reports, Flight SV832 from Jeddah to Kuala Lumpur was turned back and the trip delayed by close to an hour. 

A video of the pilot requesting Air Traffic Control operators to return to the airport has gone viral on social platforms.
