I'm closing in on 1,000 flights and it's only happened to me once.

- October, 2003. Flying HP PHX-SAN. We approached SAN which was both fogged in and under reduced viability from smoke due to wildfires at the time. Pilot attempted a landing and due to the visibility being below the minimums, pulled up at the last minute. Scary stuff, you could hear the carts in the galley straining against their locks.
