Disgusting journalism for a change... here's the ATSB report ;

Investigation: AO-2015-084 - Simultaneous missed approaches from crossing runways involving two Boeing 737-800s, VH-VXS and VH-VYE, Melbourne Airport, Victoria on 5 July 2015

In a nutshell ;

- there was no loss of separation
- the first landing was aborted by the pilot who misunderstood a trainee controller's recommendation to expidite his climb IF he aborts
- there was no need to abort the second landing in the ATSB's opinion
