..go arounds (or fly arounds or whatever they're called) suck. I was on a NWA Flight to LAX flying through Minneapolis and we had one because apparently a plane on the ground was getting too close to the runway or hadn't cleared fast enough so we had to pull back up. This happened the same week of that crash in São Paulo so that was fresh on the mind. But to hear the plane (seemingly) struggle to regain speed and altitude was not comforting...even if it's a routine procedure and everything ended up fine. Now every time I fly, when we're about to land I'm hoping that we land the first time and not have to go through that again.
