What's happening in this clip?

For whatever reason when I look at this, I get no sound. So just going
on visuals this is what I think is happening:

It looks like the flying pilot held the plane in ground effect until
the engines started to spool at which time he dropped the nose and
turned into the wind. You will notice that as the plane turned and the
right side dropped slightly, there was a massive amount of soot coming
out of the outboard engines.

So as soon as the wings come level (with the plane now angled into the
wind) that plane started climbing without the nose being pulled up
(ground effect with full flaps?).

Backing up, notice that as the camera zooms in, there is a bit of
blurring at the business end of the engines. I believe that is when
they were being spooled into full power. It is right after this that
the pilot drops the nose, and if you look, kicks the rudder, gets the
wings level, and then starts climbing in ground effect. Then you see
the nose rise and the full climb begins.

It appears that the decision to go around happened just as the camera
is swiveling to follow the plane. Actually it is just as the camera has
turned and is looking at about 45 degrees into the right rear side
("loose wingman position"). It is at that point that think I can see a
wobble in the jet. It looks like imperfections in the lens of the
camera and change in focus. However look a bit closer and you will see
that the whole plane wobbles, not just parts so that things look a bit
out of perspective for a frame or two (that would be imperfections in
that case).

And he just might have touched those right mains, it is really
difficult for me to tell at that angle.

Any way, that's my story and I'm stuck with it.

Can anyone tell me what's happening in this clip? Why was the landing
aborted?
===Looks to me like he's trying to land with strong gusty cross winds (side
on) and he's aborted and overshooting so he's crabbing into the wind as much
as possible for maximum air speed to climb out. You can see the exhaust
smoke being carried from left to right rather quickly indicating cross
winds. They also have equipment on board to detect windshear and/or sudden
loss of headwind. I imagine it was a spinkster puckering moment.

Thanks for the responses!

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
