This sort of approach and attempt to land is what one might expect from a student pilot with 4 - 5 hours in the logbook. If the person flying wasn't very ill, then I continue to wonder if the left seat was occupied by a passenger who had had a certain amount of experience and was "having a go" at a landing. In this case, why didn't the presiding pilot shout "open up and round again"? (Possibly because this is not what you do in the presence of Middle Eastern billionaires).
