What do you mean "go around", they had just taken off, seems like they had some issue at 4K and returned, almost made it.

What I don't understand is why they tried to land on end of the runway they took off from (tailwind). when they could have just done a straight in.

I meant exactly that. Spare me the pedantic "pilot" lingo bullshit.
