I am not a pilot but have read almost every post on here on a daily basis since 1999, especially those involving accidents and incidents.

Here would be my line of thinking as a pilot, given what I have read here about SOPs and whether a situation is trained for or not:

I am a pilot responsible for 400+ lives every time I go to work.

On top of this I would quite like to come home in one piece after my next trip.

Just seen an accident on the news about an airliner crashing in Dubai (or wherever)

Right - my next task is to find out every scrap of information about this - this is part of my job.

Is there anything I can learn from this? Ok, so they got into an unusual situation which they didn't get out of. Could this happen to me?

Yes, we don't train for a go-around from after touchdown.

Am I 100% sure I could get out of this situation?

If not, I am going of my own initiative to book a 4 hour session on a simulator and practice this situation until I am completely happy.

I am also going to raise the issue via my training department, but even if they don't listen I am going to make sure that I am ok.
