Default Near Miss at DIA today

Airbus A-319 comes to within 50 feet of a Metroliner (Metroliner was on
the runway and the Airbus was landing)

Question, what is the spin up time on a large airliner like that doing
a go around? I know it takes a bit for the engines to spin up and
develop take-off power. I know the weather out here this morning wasn't
so hot with all the snow blowing around.
