What is unusual about a go-around with flaps 40 and the speed at 157 knots?
This is only 2 seconds after they began the "go around." 157 knots is nearly Approach Category E.

The report doesn't say they did the approach at 157 knots. It says at the time of impact, they were in a missed approach, and the speed was 157 knots. Seems quite normal to me.
2 seconds into a "go around" (the report's term). I don't think it would be a missed approach that far off the ILS. Nothing about it seems normal to me.
