Ok, I go along with most of the scepticism here, particularly when the Sun is involved. But let me play Devil's advocate here for a moment:
WHAT IF the go around was called a bit late?
WHAT IF separation was close to the 100' quoted?
I am willing to bet that Mr. Airport Spokesman will declare that "no passengers were placed in any danger." Perhaps it could be argued that is the way it should be, particularly prior to the outcome of any investigation and bearing in mind the desire not to upset the customer. However, it seems to me that too often we end up a crap news report and a crap official statement. I think the relationship between the press and the aviation industry needs to be tackled from both ends.
But then again, as you know, I remain
