JAL 777 Go-around 5/4/09

While diggin' in the garden yesterday afternoon, the sound of power being applied made me look up to see a JAL 777 climbing rapidly, leveling off then do a wide left hand circle back for a normal looking approch about 10 mins later. (09L)

There could be a dozen reasons.... usual one is the aircraft ahead was slow to clear the runway. It's no big deal, no danger and at busy airports where they are trying to get maximum use of the runway it's bound to happen several times a week.
