Virgin Atlantic Go Around - Delhi

Reported in the Times of India today, that a Virgin Atlantic flight into Delhi had a go around, because of a stray dog on the runway. It did n't actually specify the date, but I suspect it was yesterday.

Why do newspapers write about go arounds?

Point taken daywalker. I was going to write the same thing but ukcobra an article that is funny. Come on, going around do to a dog on the runway! Much different than the normal gust, aircraft still on the runway, fog or indication issue.

Fact is that I see short news pieces on the TV and online around normal go arounds. They are no big deal. Why do they get reported? Are you interested?

Stray dogs on runways, not uncommon. I once landed in HYD at the old airport and people where cooking in the grass verge alongside the runway [:0].

I wasn't actually having a dig at anyone (I know that's not been said but reading my rather short reply back it could look that way!).

Personally I feel people can post what they want, no one is forced to read it.

Am I interested in go arounds? No but then I'm just contradicting myself as I was interested enough to open up the topic and read it. That was down to the recent attacks and I thought it might be related etc [:?]

I wouldn't think that an aircraft performing a go around would be posted but assumed that there was something more to it because it was posted, that's why I opened the topis. I think it's even more interesting/funny because it was because of a stray dog.

Normally we never get to hear about the reasons why go-arounds happen.

I thought as I read it in the India Times, and the interest in all things India/Airports this week in the Indian press and Virgin were specifically mentioned I felt like posting it.

I thought it might have been of interest, I guess not. Guess there is no interest in that sort of information, so in future I'll keep it to myself !

UKCOBRA/Mark,

Please carry on posting - I for one like to read all types of stories and found this one interesting/amusing.
