My guess would have been an excessive sink rate close to the ground due to poor power management. The power was set to TOGA in order to arrest the rapid decent but a bit too late at the airplane smacked the runway before going around. I’ve never had a go-around out of that maneuver but I have been in plenty of carrier landings as a result of excessive sink rates close to the ground.
Well judging by the weather it wasn’t exactly perfect. As you say about the sink rate, I would have thought it was windshear judging by the ammount of throttle you can here from the engines as they roar into power. Not all aircraft use TOGA on an aborted takeoff, and im sure in a situation like that when there so low they’ll manually move the throttles. But hey, im not a pilot so im mostly likely wrong! 🙂
