In 1994 i was on a flight from Edmonton to Vancouver, and in the absolute final seconds of approach during landing it took off again as straight up as I can imagine a passenger jet going.

After a while the pilot said they just missed a plane on the runway that shouldn’t have been there. He just had to take a while to gather himself after the ordeal before talking to us.

We circled for about 40 mins before landing again.

The pilot was busy executing the missed-approach procedure, running checklists with the rest of the flight crew, and coordinating the hold with ATC before talking to the passengers. "He just had to take a while to gather himself after the ordeal" seems hyperbolic.
