Airline industry operates at a 9 sigma level, which is the safest you can get. Hospitals are trying to change their operation to become like an airline. A change in industry not just company.
It's safe because of what pilot goes through before flying, during and landing.
I've been to several flights where pilots had to go around and they were all weather related. I was in a flight where the airplane was "dropping" while preparing for landing. The plane would literally drop! You feel like you're in a rollercoaster and people were screaming, crying and throwing up. The pilot attempted 3 times. The last one was successful.
Another example was in the Asia, just like the OPs example, gears were down and it was a touch and go. The plane had to return to it's origin. I was delayed one day. I'd rather be delayed than dead.
