Why not? Awesome flying skills, yes I know it is trained for, but it isn't a daily occurrence and was very impressive to watch. The comment was meant in appreciation.
BANG!
Ladies and Gentlemen, as you may have just noticed we have arrived at London Heathrow - Oh wait no, no we haven't...
A wild day today all over the UK - Glad I'm not on some tiddler like a Flybe Q400 being flung about

Why is the gear not retracting?
Our call was "Go Around, Flaps, - Positive rate, Gear Up."
Or did they think they might have broken something?

Good video capture (for the pedantic of you) , windshear in the flare, nose down to maintain speed, TOGA, maintain positive climb rate, wait until clear of shear, recover.

Commercial pilots exist in another financial reality to most of the rest of us. Try not to think of them in normal human terms, in my experience they generally don't reciprocate. They merely tolerate us and our limited abilities.
