Passengers probably had no idea. I was on a flight from LA to Tokyo that had to pull up at landing supposed because of another plane on the runway. It was supposedly clearing the opposite end in a take off but had not cleared.

Had two flights where they had to go around. One was into Raleigh/Durham. The pilot said the plane ahead of us had;t cleared the runway in time. On the go-around I timed it from that point and it was 9 minutes before landing.

The oyjer time was a flight from Dulles to SFO. It was a late Friday flight that was to spend the night at SFO. There were only about 30 of us on a 747. As we were over the San Mateo Bridge on the final approach (a minute or two from landing) the plane suddenly puled up and started the large circle over the SF bay. The pilot said something about a light on the panel and then we circled and landed.
