Dear friend Mr. Joel Wiley , thanX a ton for the link. I went through it as closely as a lay man possibly can !
Two sentences of the report confuse me .
First , the report does not ascribe blame on any one or any thing.
Secondly , it describes distinctly the status of the of shifting headwinds at the landing time .
Is is that attempts are made to involve the Almighty (Wind gods) ? To save skin/s of some ?
Regards

1. It's a preliminary report w/o conclusions.
2. Wind shear was a condition about that time but I don't have the knowledge/expertise to opine if it was a factor or not.

ThanX my friend Mr. Joel Wiley
Was it fault of pilots of failing to do the 'go around' maneuver or the ATC guy who asked them to do it ? Or some thing else ? Or combination of a few things ?
