I think id have stained underwear if i was a passenger on this plane, what a good pilot though, those were some serious cross winds. This plane came back around and landed safely the second time.

Whoa that's some strong wind. As my hubby (a private pilot) and his friends say, "Any landing you walk away from is a great landing!"

Yes, it happened during winds that were riping roofs off of houses. Excellent save by the pilot.

I would have been more scared once back in the air if I was on a window seat and saw the wing do that, because I would not trust the strength of it no more in the air.

I would have really thought he'd just take the rough landing and go with it. Good piloting though. Someone needs to buy those guys a few drink before their next flight.
