It seems yesterday was a windy day at Birmingham Airport in the UK! Check out the video of this Emirates 777 going around:
Fortunately it aborted its landing a bit earlier the second time around, and diverted to London Gatwick instead:
Perhaps even more interesting is the go around video of this Brussels Airlines Dash 8:
Yowzers!

Somehow, the Brussels flight landed on the second attempt - there's a video of it from the same source.
@ Mitchzmagic -- I've had three aborted takeoffs and three go arounds in my life. Aborted takeoffs were all at a low speed so no big deal. As far as the go arounds go, by most traumatic was probably also my first one, which was on Sri Lankan with low visibility. The two subsequent ones on British Airways and Aer Lingus were both no big deal.
Lucky, have you ever endured a go-around or aborted landing? Does it feel like what it looks? Ha
holy crap on a cracker
I actually thought the first Emirates attempt looked pretty good there... My wife is in that part of the UK this week and said it was so windy yesterday that it was almost physically impossible to walk outside.
