Interesting to mention that flight Asiana 214 on July 5, so the day before the crashed one, make a go around at SFO.
It might be an interesting exercise to trawl back through the FlightAware database for the weeks since the ILS was U/S.

I have already made the point that despite the "cultural/training" issues, at least 20 previous Flight 214s have landed without incident at SFO. If any more of them are GAs it may back up the charge that some of these pilots are not particularly skilled at hand flying visual approaches (obviously depending on the reason for the GAs), but it would also however knock on the head the idea that these pilots 'don't do' go arounds.
