airbubba, by now you will have seen the posts between mine and yours. The impression given by ATC is that they instructed 759 to go around while still on the approach (thus averting a calamity). Not so according to TSB who say 759 was already overshooting and had passed over 0.25 miles of Twy C before ATC issued their go around call. Thus 759 was at least in control of his recovery actions. No criticism of ATC, theres not much else (useful) that you can say to an aircraft climbing out over a crowded taxiway.
Re expected report. We have been here before, Emirates, Lamia etc. Dont tell me the US does not comply with ICAO annex 13? Overshooting runway is an investigatable event and a Preliminary report ( not Interim) is mandated within 30 days. It won't apportion blame as per usual, just the facts , man. This is no ordinary overshoot of course and we would all really like to know how it came about.
