Houston nativeJoBeth Williams weathered her share of tropical storm and hurricane conditions as a child. Her mother worked as a dietician at Memorial-Herrmann (the Houston-area hospital where14 Hours is set) for 18 years.[6]The premature baby in the movie is based in Zachary Jackson's struggle to survive not only prematurity but also the loss of power to his life-support equipment when he weighed around 2 lbs (1 kilogram). He is now a healthy teenager in the Houston Metropolitan area, and did a fundraiser to make Relief Boxes full of preemie essentials to victims ofHurricane Harvey and delivered them to Intensive Care Units.The producers were inspired by the Reader's Digest article "BLACKOUT" by Peter Michelmore published in April 2002.
