DA.C - View Single Post - 744 Go-Around

Go arounds are quite normal although I can't understand why the ATC waits until almost the last moment to inform the incoming a/c. They're the ones who obviously gave prior permission to the departing a/c to takeoff, so why wait till the last min to tell the incoming a/c that he must go around?

The IB A346 wasn't exactly on the runway, it was on the taxiway near the runway threshold so why the IB couldn't be put on hold till the LH 744 landed is beyond me as the LH was all but on the runway when it was told to go around.
