An amazing video and I am surprised that the pilot was able to throttle up enough to go around. Generally at the point where he was so close to the ground there is not enough lift to rise back up. There is a possibility that the high winds actually helped him avert a crash...of course without the high winds there would have been no problem.

OMG!! That is an amazing video! The wind was so strong, that big ol' jet looked like a toy airplane. Why the pilot didn't abort the landing we'll never know.
