A340-800 Flight from MAD-JFK a couple summers ago, pilot aborted the first landing due to the universal "another aircraft on the runway". On approach he banked the plane very suddenly rather hard (I'd say about 45 degrees) starboard before straightening out and spooling the engines back up. If you ask me, he just botched the approach. Second go around was fine.
Some PAX next to me were clearly distressed, but after I proceeded to explain the situation and just how common this occurence is, they calmed down. Though they might have been puckering, I'm sure the 3 crewmembers aboard this C-130 were clenching their butts a little tighter:

No arresting hook, only brakes and reverse thrust. They actually reversed the thrust before touching down! No chance for a go around on this approach. A former C-130 pilot told me the starboard wing cleared the control tower by about 5 feet.
