Looked like a go-around to me; a touch and go I understand to be planned, I doubt this was. When I have watched Air France land the wheels usually touch down bang on the target, i.e. pretty much lined up with the PAPI (red lights), the video of the first attempt shows the touch down point significantly past there, my guess is that's why they went around. Maybe the crew judged that another ton of Jet A burned in a go-around was better than hot brakes from landing long? Thanks for posting anyway, always interesting to watch things at PJIA! Dave.
