Have you ever been in a go-around? I got the pleasure at DCA one day. The pilot went back on the power over the runway, managed to stop the decent by the mid point, and wasn’t able to start climbing again until he got past the 395 bridge. I thought I was going to go swimming that afternoon, and the flight attendant in the aisle seat didn’t look too happy, either.
It’s not hitting the throttles and climbing out at the last minute.
It seems that the close-call was incredibly close, this article says they came within 100 ft of planes on the taxiway!!
I didn’t realize from the prior article that it had been anywhere near so close, I thought they were called off with much more of a margin. This was indeed a frighteningly close call.
