One Plane Fag's opinion: This type of request coming from, either ATC to "Go around" or from a pilot "Going around", is to ensure enough separation, isn't an uncommon event. And an airliner on approach can sometimes observe 1-2 other planes depart from the same runway it's using, from the time it lines up with the approach runway. This Fox news report seems like they are trying to milk the unsafe narrative.
