Awesome video from Ray T, check out his YouTube channel!
Dangerous low level wind shear of 15-30 knot loss on runways and short final at SFO causes a stop of departures. While runways 28L and R remained open for arriving traffic, only a couple planes were able to land. Many go arounds and with the wind shear situation not improving for about an hour, many planes given radar vectors to divert to SJC or OAK for low fuel situations.
Nice job to all the pilots and ATC.
