re: Lufthansa 747 passengers get a little surprise during landing attempt at LAX

This happened to me on a L1011 landing in Nola, but wasn’t that rough. Wheels down for a few seconds then took right off again. Captain came on and said in his deep, soothing Lyle Wagoner voice “Well folks, we didn’t have all our minimums just right, so we’re gonna come back around and do it again.” In other words, we didn’t want to have to cross all four lanes on airline highway to stop.
