And loosing 50 metres due to inertia while trying to go around? I don't think so...
In the 1997 book "Practical Aerodynamics of Tu-154" the author suggests:

..."by go around the loss of altitude dependent on sink rate is:
by 3,5m/s - 10m, by 5m/s - 20m, by 8m/s - 50m."


According to simulations they were sinking well over 10m/s...

If you look carefully at the moment of the FO command "Go around",
the sink rate was 18m/s !!!
