Gentlemen, gentlemen. Re-read the article. It doesn't really say that much. None of the usual bravely narrowly avoiding schools, hospitals, bus full of kiddies, motorway full of traffic. He does say something about a light aircraft + flock of birds that didn't show up but not really in a shock horror oo la la way. So the journo in question knows buggah all about aviation...is there something new here? I think not but I do think I have seen a lot lot worse.
Only conclusion I can find is IAA don't keep statistics about go-arounds. Big deal. Bit of a non-article really.
Now then now then, what about that old chestnut they drag up every summer about Tenerife sliding into the sea and causing a tidal wave which will drown the whole of the western world. About time we had that one again. Sky News used to carry it every year usually about mid-July. Should be due shortly
