What BBN said about it
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorA Singapore Airlines jet swayed over Perth and then climbed away from the runway. Did the plane fail to land?
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorNo. Singapore Airlines says the pilots chose a go-around after strong winds on approach, and the plane landed safely at twelve-thirty local time.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorSo it didn't fail. It declined the first offer.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorBasically, yes. A go-around is a standard procedure where pilots climb away and try again. The wind gusted up to forty-three kilometres an hour.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorDoes this affect me? I'm flying Thursday, and I've seen the video.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorNothing in the reports says it changes anyone's flights. A go-around is a standard procedure. The only people alarmed were the ones filming.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorWhat happens next, then?
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorNothing, Dale. The plane is parked, the passengers are off, and the only thing still circling is the clip on everyone's phone.
