I heard about that mars.. in fact, I was the first to post that news on pprune, but at the moment their is not any hard evidence, just rumour as to the texting incident. However, the Australia Safety Board are investigating the "go around"... which makes my point. These incidents are routinely investigated. If the pilot made an error or was reckless, he will be found out and be in big trouble.

Go arounds feel very uncomfortable and scary... but they are in fact perfectly safe.
