The worst turbulance I have expirienced would've been flying back to Heathrow From Milan.

Finals into Heathrow we had moderate turbulance with a very strong crosswind from the south west. Remember seeing the runway and the aircraft flaring, next thing the aircraft suddenly banks to the right and we have an imidiate go-around, within less than a second we had a mexican wave of sick (). Landed after second try.

After the flight I found out that the aircraft had almost landed on the grass, when we flared we caught a strong gust

Was I afraid?..... I was ****ing my self.
