In the video posted above by skadi, following go around, the aircraft is out of sight in the clouds for approximately 36 seconds, reappears and impacts in about 3 1/2 seconds.
The interesting thing to me is that the azimuth of disappearance and azimuth of reappearance are extremely close to each other.
This implies that the pull up was extremely steep, possibly greater than 30 degrees nose up.

The other interesting thing in the video was the way that the trees above the building on the left side of the video were whipping around in the wind. It was a rather wild night even if the visibility was reasonably good.
