The 911 Dispatcher Who Walked A Couple Through The Birth of Their Daughter During Hurricane Irma Were Reunited

Imagine going into labor during a severe hurricane with no way to get to the hospital, or have any medical help to be able get to you? That was reality for 23-year-old Tatyana Watkins and her boyfriend David Knight. Knight had called 911 to see if any help could be sent to their home, but due to the high winds, emergency workers couldn't reach them. The dispatcher, Desiree Farrell, stayed on the phone with the couple to walk them through the delivery of their daughter, Destiny. She then conferenced in a doctor to help complete the procedure. During iHeartRadio Fiesta Latina: Celebrating Our Heroes, baby Destiny, her parents, and Deseree were reunited during a very touching on-stage moment.

Luis Fonsi Held Nothing Back During "Despacito" 

With only a few months left in 2017, it's safe to say that"Despacito" easily takes the title of "Song of the Year," and Luis Fonsi reminded us just how great the chart-topper is during his iHeartRadio Fiesta Latina: Celebrating Our Heroes Performance. During Fonsi's set in Miami at American Airlines Arena, the singer/songwriter performed his songs including "Corazon En La Maleta," "No Me Doy Por Vencido," and his booty shaking JAM "Party Animal."

But Luis ended his performance strong by gracing everyone's ears with his world-dominating ear worm "Despacito," with dance moves as equally as amazing as his hit song, reminding us all what a masterpiece it truly is.
