The taxi stuff sounds authentic. And VT-PPB did go missed shortly before EK521 arrived:

But the part about the gear is somewhat confusing and seemingly bass ackward
:
Pilots went around (very low height) post windshear alert and so didn't take the gear up as per the required actions, OR, deliberately left the gear down following a normal go around and would have realised that rate of climb is insufficient. Whatever is the reason - but their decision of keeping the gear down was indeed a remarkable decision. IMO, a boon for all of them.
