Go around made the news?

“"This appears to be a small private jet executing what is called a ‘go-around,’ which is not uncommon and is not considered unsafe," Tampa International Airport spokesperson Emily Nipps told Fox News Digital on Wednesday.”

Nice to see they got some real aviation experts over at the Tampa airport.

Do all jets have that spinny thing on their noses?

Your sarcasm might be absent or difficult to see. Those experts in Tampa must be enamored with that style of Cirrus JET

Yep. It's there to keep the pilot cool. Seems his was working as he made a good decision to go around. It almost appears he had a save after adding power and the plane descended to the runway but at that point he was focused on getting away from the ground. Second attempt was very nice ...
 
"Wisely the pilot aborted the landing and did a go around. Second time was a perfect landing" the article says. Nope. Nowhere near even acceptable. It was still fast and flat, like the first landing. Good chance he'll wreck it yet.

Higher airspeed translates directly to a lower AoA, meaning a flatter attitude, which leads to porposing or wheelbarrowing.

Like a pancake. Can't tell for sure, but looks like the nose gear may have even contacted first.
 
It should have. All the videos I have seen showed the collapse on the third bounce.

Had a solo student at local airport do 9 in a C-172 before the firewall let go and resulted in a prop strike. Caught on camera.
