Can anyone tell me what's happening in this clip? Why was the landing
aborted?

It appears the pilot is coming in rather fast and at too much of an angle,
but that could just be my amateur's eye. I'm not a pilot... yet.

Also, what kind of delay is there from the time the pilot goes full
throttle until the plane actually reacts? Near-immediate, or to have such
a close call would the pilot likely have goosed it a few seconds before we
actually see the plane start to go back up?

Thanks
