Dunno about that as I haven't personally "slammed" the throttles to firewall thrust or TOGA thrust, either. I think it was a CRJ or similar that crashed during a very late IMC go-around in France last year killing some of the pax. He was way off the ILS centreline in fog and despite calls from the F/O to GA, he left it very late. He failed to rotate to the GA attitude and hit the deck in level attitude.
The investigation criticised the operator for not conducting proper low level GA training of its pilots and not making efficient use of the simulator for this purpose. That is not uncommon for numerous airline operators.
It is quite common to see runway level GA botched up during simulator training - if it is done at all. Mainly due to failure to rotate to GA attitude.
Also have seen people press TOGA and if for some reason the throttles do not advance, they keep on frantically pressing TOGA instead of over-riding and pushing the throttles open manually. Couple that with poor attitude control and the scene is set for a hit runway go around.
If low level IMC GA are done it is usually on automatics where all the crew does is to press TOGA and make the appropriate flap and gear selections. All too easy when compared to the basic handling skills needed to conduct a manual IMC GA. Example loss of all forward vision due heavy rain at the flare.
