What happened here?

[Putt4Par]

A friend of mine was on this flight. Haven't talked to him but based on the picture, especifically the landing part in New Orleans...what do you think happened? Missed landing?

Trying to avoid making the standard AD.Com idiotic joke, I would make a WILD GUESS based on the weather that there was a missed approach due to the weather/windshear, cancelled approach clearance, or a plethora of other related issues, sent into pretty sloppy hold, then landed?

That or something completely different.

I'm thinking the smaller circle is very close to Bourbon street.

There's some pretty interesting drag shows down there and if the visibility was good........
