In my career as a Flight Attendant I had only about 3 aborted landings with Swissair.

But later, on a vacation in the Philippines, I had two scary ones in a row. During a typhoon in Manila, the captain made 2 go-arounds and I was really scared the first time in a plane. How many times you read that a plane crashes during bad weather after trying to land 2 times and the 3rd try was the crash. I think he just had to bring that plane to the ground as he probably had not enough fuel left to try again. The runway was full of water and it splashed like a waterfall while landing. He could stop that plane about 20 metres before the end of the runway...
