Aborted landing/go around

I hope this is the right place to post this. A similar issue was posted in this forum previously (http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/pract...d-landing.html) so I have followed suit.

I experienced my first go around last night. After a lifetime of enjoying flying, I have recently developed a fear of flying. So this experience didn't help matters.

I was pretty scared when this happened, as we were already being thrown around a fair bit and, as we started climbing again, we seemed to be (to this layperson) wobbling all over the place. I learned later that it was the first flight for one of the FAs and she was in crash position. The other experienced flight attendant said it was her worst flight experience.

All that was ever said about the go around was the flight attendant announcing that the pilot had decided not to make the landing. The cockpit never addressed the go around.

I would like to know what the reason was and have listened to the transmission on http://www.liveatc.net/ but don't know the lingo and can't make out what is being said most of the time. I do hear my flight make a request (sounds like 2500?) on the tower recording and on the approach recording, the word "go around" is mentioned.

There was turbulence last night and I think I heard the tower say that another flight was below the "worst of the wind sheer".

If anyone is willing/interested to help me decipher it, I would be most appreciative.

The flight was PD 678 and the go around started soon after 8pm EDT at YTZ (Toronto City Airport).
