Boring! Is this a piece of news or is this a QUESTION? As a total non-event, I assume it is a question. Yes, aeroplanes can perform go-arounds with no problem even on ground contact. But as you have given the identity of the airline, date and therefore crew, you obviously wish more than just an answer. A perfectly normal procedure was carried out to prevent any risk to the aeroplane or passengers. Are you trying to make out you were in a 'death jet' averting doom by a whisker? You could have said (in the QUESTIONS forum) that you were in a low go-around and 'how normal is this?' But instead you exaggerated- I can guarantee that the a/c was NOT 'blown over the edge of the runway.' Had I been the Captain, I would be starting legal proceedings against you.

Fintan, I know you probably mean well, but a background of Microsoft Flight Sim is not enough to draw on to explain such a manouevre! Any jet can go around at any altitude, even after touching down.
