Obviously dramatic take
I’ve experienced a go around in a storm when the pilots reached minimums and couldn’t see runway.
It’s certainly jarring. You feel 2-3g’s on the ascent so maybe that’s why it felt like 90*

If news did report on this, they would probably show an A320 or CRJ taking off with headline of "Boeing jet SLAMS onto runway terrifying passengers before SCREAMING back into the Sky!"

Many times it's all just part of the process. Busy airports have planes lined up tightly for landing. All it takes is for one plane to exit the runway a tad too slowly and the next plane has to go around. Nothing dangerous or deadly. Just a slight issue with spacing so liot has to go around.
Does not always mean somebody messed up or somebody made a mistake .

Yeah i have seen it a good bit. Social media has made things seem worse than it actually is.

The landing gear was down
That's way better than landing without the gear down, trust me.

In a nutshell, don’t hire white men.

i think he meant your hysterics. and if these "manly men" were that badly shaken........i got nothing.
I flew for work for many, many years and have flown through really bad turbulence, and had 4 or 5 aborted landings, and even one emergency descent because we had another plane to close int he air over Michigan, and never once did i reconsider air travel or got shook up - and I am far from a manly man.

SOP at Heathrow, clear you to line up and wait as one begins rolling, another on a four mile final still waiting for landing clearance, might get it it as you're coming over the threshold

My family is ok but badly shaken
Extremely rare, but most who have done a lot of flying have experienced it once.

Oh, you just have no grip on reality.

Can't stop chuckling at 90 degree ascent.

Just thank the plane crew. Don’t thank the Lord, since the Lord doesn’t exist.

The exact same thing happened to us on a flight into Atlanta a couple years ago. Glad your family and others are ok.

LOL. Yep, vertical ascensions are scary.

This was an aborted landing. With the landing gear down. And plane ascending at nearly 90 degree angle. If there is anything 'common' about such a situation we need to nuke the entire system from space and start over.
I fly 6 legs a month. For about 10 years now. It’s happened to me twice. So not common, but it likely happens everyday somewhere.

You’re so edgy. So cool.

It sounds to me like an incident that should be reported to NTSB with urgency.
So, are your family members planning to do so?
If not, why not?
