Basque twin brothers video becomes Youtube sensation

A video of two newborn twins in a hospital of the Basque city of Donostia-San Sebastian has become an internet sensation racking up more than 250,000 viewings on YouTube and more than a hundred comments since it was posted on the video-sharing website last Tuesday.

Twin brother and sister Danel and María had just been born a few minutes ago following an uncomplicated delivery by caesarean. "After the delivery, the newborns were taken to a thermal cradle. They were left there each one looking on a different direction, but naturally held their hands together", recounts Doctor Javier Rodriguez.

One of the nurses that helped at the delivery took the photo using the mobile phone of Mario Morales, the twin's father, and now it is surfing the Internet at a blistering pace.
