Can anyone tell me what's happening in this clip? Why was the landing
aborted?

===Looks to me like he's trying to land with strong gusty cross winds (side
on) and he's aborted and overshooting so he's crabbing into the wind as much
as possible for maximum air speed to climb out. You can see the exhaust
smoke being carried from left to right rather quickly indicating cross
winds. They also have equipment on board to detect windshear and/or sudden
loss of headwind. I imagine it was a spinkster puckering moment.
