For the first time in my life, I had a plane malfunction in flight

2021/11/19 (Saturday) from kaohsiung on jal 812 (wave 767-300) to narita airport, Tokyo. In Japan, the weather was not good due to the typhoon and heavy rain near Tokyo. When the plane landed, we could see the cloud was thick, and it was close to the ground after breaking out of the cloud. At this time, the heavy wind and rain jolted the plane severely. Sitting by the window, I could see the obvious water mist floating on the plane engine caused by the strong wind. Almost as I neared the runway, I felt a jolt, the nose of the plane popped, and the engines roared. It was so different from the usual landing that I immediately knew something was wrong. At this time to see the plane obviously pull up and accelerate, and then came the flight attendant's first broadcast: "the plane encountered strong airflow is pulling up, ready to re-enter the landing..." It was 13:50. At the beginning of the heart a little panic, but heard that it was the impact of the airflow put down the heart, thought is also a small episode.

About 10 minutes, the plane returned to the sea, came the captain for the first time broadcast: "aircraft left wing signal abnormal, is currently in the spot inspection..." . Then the two flight attendants respectively ran to the left and right wings and observed while reporting something to the captain through the internal phone. At the same time, they could hear the mechanical sound of the aircraft, whether it was the landing gear or flaps, constantly activating and reactivating. Now the passengers knew what was going on, but there was nothing else to do but sit quietly in their seats. Sitting on the right wing, I could only see the pale face and nervous expression of the flight attendant on the left. At this time, I was thinking of leaving any last words for my wife and children, but my mobile phone could not be turned on, and I could not leave the last image for them. In my heart, I silently recite the names of my wife, eldest son, youngest son, and mom and dad, saying I love you... Pray the plane's just a signal anomaly. At this time, a middle-aged man who did not know whether he was the co-pilot or the captain came to the left wing to observe carefully. Passengers nearby looked at him nervously, hoping to see a little warning from his expression. But this one has a standard poker face, looks at it for about five minutes, and then goes back to the cockpit.

About 14:20, came the captain's second broadcast: "confirmed that the signal is abnormal, my plane will enter the landing procedures again..." . Ok ok, this now a big sigh of relief, but still a little nervous, as long as there is no safety back to the ground this matter is not clear. As the plane approached the runway again, I was really nervous, my hands firmly gripping the armrests of my seat. It didn't help. Fortunately, everything went well. The heavy rain and strong wind weakened and landed at narita Airport smoothly at 14:50. I wanted to applaud the moment the plane slid off the landing runway, but the surrounding passengers were mostly expressionless, so I was a little embarrassed, had to get off the plane amid the flight attendant's continuous apology broadcast.

A cabin door to open the mobile phone to his wife to report the air shock, but the wife does not give force, accompanied by the little son shout big sleep, did not receive a phone call, had to go home to tell them about this thrilling story.

It is the first time for me to encounter an air failure after nearly 100 times of flying. I am glad and hope I will never have similar experience in the future.
