So called near miss at Touyen

A go-around due to a blocked runway is a normal procedure. After operating out of Heathrow where the seperation can be down to 2 1/2 miles on approach and the USA with the ATC that thinks you are flying a C172 not a B747-400 go-arounds are not uncommon. But saying it was a China Airlines aircraft doing the go-around, I work for them, then that in its self is a dangourous manouver as has been proved many times in the not so distant past. Do not mention Honolulu!
