Sorry the landing shook you up...it can be very uncomfortable when there is a missed approach in weather. That line there might be taking some creative liberty about the proximity to a "serious mishap" .

Wind shear is defined as a change in wind velocity or direction. All wind shear is not of the sort (or intensity) that brought down DL 191 in DFW. Often it just de-stablizes the approach enough to the point the pilot didn't feel comfortable and wanted to go around for another try.

Glad all was well.
