They executed a pretty difficult turn, apparently it's called the impossible tear drop and you're trained specifically NOT to ever do it. I looked at the flight tracking, I suspect the maneuver they pulled just put them at that point in the runway[1]. If you read my reply to the comment above you, it has some additional context you might find interesting. They pilots I watched all mentioned really, it doesn't make sense they cut off the approach, they should have taken the bird strike and continued the landing. The probable reasons given was: took evasive maneuvers to avoid the brids so came off glide slope, not enough engine power for a full go around, then started to get way behind the plane.
Minor nit, I believe it’s called the teardrop go around for such cases. You also have the impossible turn which is meant typically for engine/power failure during takeoff, and it actually is possible to be safely done - as demonstrated by the former ALPA Air Safety Institute Senior VP Richard McSpadden in one of his YouTube videos.
However, it can be deceptively difficult to have the right conditions to pull it off - as demonstrated by the ironically fatal crash that killed Commander (Ret) McSpadden (though iirc it was not clear if he was flying the craft at the time).
Thank you for the clarification, I hoped I couched everything enough people knew I'm just reading internet and not at all an expert, I appreciate the reply!
