I have not seen that much rapid control movement on a heavy jet ever!

The pilot was working hard...

Portions of the Pacific Northwest experienced a massive windstorm last
night. (One million people in that region are presently without
power.) The following video captures a NWA jet aborting a landing in
favor of a go-around this morning after experiencing very gusty
conditions at Sea-Tac. Must have been fun to be in that plane!

There is also the video from a few years ago of the DC-8 aborting a
landing at ONT due to the high wind.
