Okay, here's the scoop. After circling for an hour and a half waiting for the weather to ease up, they finally got ATC clearance to land. The visibility was poor. Upon almost touching down (my wife says it felt like they were only a few feet from the ground), the pilot sees another plane at the far end of the runway, presumably it needed extra stopping distance due to the wet conditions. Upon seeing this, the pilot aborts and takes an aggressive angle to take off and reach 10,000 FT. Now they have to get back in line and they circled another 45 minutes before landing. During the abort, she said there was dead silence in the cabin. The second landing was very bumpy and she said that's when the px were screaming.

When she got home I had her dinner ready, some wine, and then I gave her a massage to calm her nerves. She's allright now.
