I did a go around once from relatively low level due to significant overshoot shear. Told the pax it was due to said wind change. The media report quoting a 'Mr Hawthorne from Melbourne' said that he'd seen an aeroplane pointing the wrong way and that we'd had a near miss. Said aeroplane was on the parallel taxiway.

I pay virtually no attention to pax reports about heights, weather conditions, whether people were going to die, unless the pax is a professional aviator. Even then they often don't have the entire picture.
