Southwest Airlines Boeing 737 Smashes Wing During Turbulent, Vomit-Inducing Landing Attempt
If at first you don't succeed, as the saying goes, try, try again...and if that still doesn't work, divert to another airport. At least, that seems to be the version of the axiom followed by the pilots of a commercial airliner earlier this week: On Monday, a Boeing 737 flown by Southwest Airlines was forced to abort its landing at Connecticut's Bradley International Airport after three failed attempts to land in high winds, including one that caused the aircraft's wing to… (www.thedrive.com) 更多...

there is a video shown many times with regard to aircraft and weather and winds,where a plane is literally pushed sideways while trying to land,bounces around and finally makes it..pilots have the weather information available, and its their discretion to land or go around or even divert if needed,,with radar and assist from the tower..there are also windshear and windspeed devices..
Another story that makes me so glad I rarely use the airlines. If I was on that flight I believe I would have tried to storm the cockpit before the third attempt.
