I would like to hear an explanation, as to why the pilot was landing (almost touch down) at the Las Vegas airport during a very visual thunderstorm on the Strip. At the last minute landing was aborted. The aircraft started ascending, two major drops in altitude causing passengers to get barf bags. People screamed, held hands and totally shaken. No explanation from the flight deck. The airplane, after going around, finally starts descending and coming to the opposite end of the runaway. All of this without a word from the pilots!!!! After landing the passengers clapped. If I could, I would have slapped the pilots. Between visual and instrumental couldn't he have avoided the landing??? We were scared to death!!!!

Daily Horoscope for May 25

Aries

Your emotions have the upper hand, making you rather fiery and fervent. That's great if you're hoping for a passionate encounter with you-know-who, because you'll be really hot stuff. However, in non-sexual situations you could become somewhat tempestuous and irritable, especially if you suspect that things aren't going the way you want.
