The only time I had this happen to me was at ORD! We were at final approach, got directly over the runway and had to abort due to wind shear, plane tipped to the left, the people on DEF got a really good view of the runway up close. Scary but probably not as unsafe as it felt. Pilot aborted for comfort of passengers, said he could have landed but it would have been really rough.
