Every approach might result in a missed approach.
Every approach might not result in a landing.

A missed approach is absolutely no different to a train waiting outside Waterloo station for a few minutes awaiting a platform. Do we worry about that too?

xtypeman - at the age of 54 you should have realised by now that a missed approach is a perfectly normal aviation procedure. Posting stuff like that on here will get dumb tabloid journos excited. Perhaps you are one already. Indeed, when HD and I were at LHR our boss (KCW) informed the press (who persisted in asking the same ****** question) that 'if my staff didn't have a couple of go-arounds a day they weren't working hard enough'.

Would you have asked the same question if it had been a Boeing 737...?
