To at least make give some background to this non-event:

First go-around was runway 12R 16:38 UTC and landed 17:27 UTC.
Subsequent approaches to 30L.

First go-around due to the wind shifting to the tail the rest probably due to gusts and heavy rain.

Other flights diverted as is quite usual when there is heavy rain and strong gusts.
KLM had enough gas to stick around and give their passengers a wonderful ride.
