Also from the chart, if they were that desperate to get on the ground, they were lined up with 36C then 36L shortly after. Doesn't really make sense.
My best guess is that this is what they tried to do but the chosen runway(s) were not available so they flew a short pattern to line up for the next available.
AMS can get hectic at times.
This was not a simple engine failure, the aircraft collided with a flock of heavy geese which implies a stong possibility of other damage. In the circumstances a desire to get back to terra firma ASAP is understandable.
Not the way I would have done it but it is easy to criticise, none of us were there.
