Video of KLM B747 go-around at CUR
This video shows a KLM Boeing 747-400 which makes a go-around immediately after the main landing gear touches the runway at Curacao (CUR).
This happened at January 27.
Landings seems far down the runway but is because of displaced threshold.
Why the go-around?

Nope, check your screen settings (Resolution and color depth) I found out that on certain sites (CNN is one of them) on one of my computers if 16 bits is selected I see a black window, I have to set it back to 32bits. (It's a laptop hence graphically limited) hope that helps... Kind Regards.
has KLM removed the video aready ?
What could have been the outcome and why if no GA had occurred?

This was a hardish touchdown followed by a bounce. Had a go-around not been carried out, the next touchdown would have been considerably harder and probably would have damaged the aircraft. An excellent decision!

Just looked again, the ground spoilers did not start to deploy, and the rotation rate was that of a planned go around. Definately made before touchdown. Probably due to high rate of descent/windshear, but i wasn't on the stick that day, so pure speculation.

I guess the crew involved are mightily relieved the butty munching anorak clad experts on the balcony have in the whole approved their actions on the day
Walt me old mucker...I notice that you seem to spend most of your days in the spotters corner, trying your best to get a response by slagging people off. Were you ejecected from a enthusiast club as a child ?? Or maybee your wife had an affair with a spotter ??
Maybe it is time to come clean and explain why you troll the spotters balcony looking for victims ??
