Yes, sounds a bit hairy. Go-arounds are common and no cause for alarm, but rarely involve actually touching down (aka hitting the ground ) in the process. I'm guessing he really botched the landing, possibly because of the turbulence or touched down too far along the runway.

But they recovered. I won't add the usual "any landing..." saw.
