(Video) BBJ goes around after minimums when runway disappears
douglesso - "The approach flown was a CAT I ILS. I could see the rain column approach from the other side of the field so I got out my phone camera from the jump seat.

Excelent video... excelent decition and reaction of the crew. They understand the equation of "go arround = save lives". Thanks!!
