In theory, go-arounds are pretty rare in commercial aviation, but I was just in my second one landing in Boston today. The previous time was in heavy clouds/fog, so I'm not actually sure how close we came to the runway before pulling back up - this one we actually bumped on the runway, but the plane was rocking a lot, so I guess they decided it was less risky to go back up than to try to complete an iffy landing. The captain said something about wind conditions. Second landing attempt from a different direction went fine. I was pretty rattled and tbh am still - even knowing that's a normal thing they practice, I would rather not be a passenger in any kind of unplanned airplane event. My heart rate went through the roof at the time and keeps having little upticks. (I guess now I know what Justin meant when he said he didn't want to think about it.)
