I think you'll be shocked at the ATC setup and actions on that morning when the English version of the report comes out: disorganization in the room, as well as slips of the tongue!

BTW, surely well done to the EasyJet; but according to BEA United had already initiated a go round (having a good visual on the encroaching EasyJet) just before EasyJet PC chimed in. EsyJet stopped with half the a/c on the runway, still at right angles to it. United got as low as 80 feet when 250 meters out from the threshold (BEA uses both units.....), and passed over Easyjet at about 300 feet.
