got some statistics
Looked at the weather conditions in Frankfurt that day. Wind gusting to almost 45 knots.
Googled some numbers: Frequency of go arounds is about 1 in 1000 to 1 in 4000 depending on airport. That steep full power climb indeed felt reassuring. Feeling that constant power instead of the random weather gusts.
The announcements by stewardess and captain alike were in slightly shaky voices. It was hairy enough for many passengers to vomit.
