Heathrow airport landing live

I flew into Edinburgh airport this afternoon where we had 60mph+ winds. Landing was pretty hairy and it took the pilot 3 attempts. By the third attempt there were people crying and praying and even the cabin crew looked nervous! Impressive bit of flying in those crosswinds!

Where did you fly from? Seeing that winds peaked at 33Kts (~38Mph) I doubt that it was 60mph+. I can see that a handful of landings did a single go around, but that's fairly standard practice in winds.
