As we approached the runway at MIA and were at about 500feet, I noticed the plane bank quickly to the right, flare the engines for all they were worth and then bank the plane a harsh left while lifting the nose and beginning to climb with full throttle. I glanced toward Austin and said; “that’s not normal” (in a very calm yet questioning tone). We shared comments that this was definitely an unusual methodology for landing a plane, as we were still climbing. Then the captain came over the loud speaker and announced; “in case you are wondering, that is what we call a “go around”…..my words then were something like- yea a go around the other plane that was either taxiing on our path or the one that took off?!!!
