Sad.
It didn't sounded it would be a problem, doing a low approach go-around...

Below a video report:
http://www.thekathrynreport.com/2010/10/video-crash-of-siai-marchetti-s20522r.html

Little transcript here:
Pilot: We'll do a, ehhh go-around and just do a low fly-by then.
Tower: Any idea of problems with the aircraft 934W or just a go-around?
Pilot: Nah, just wanna go around.
Tower: Ok, cleared for low approach then...

Well if it was an engine problem, you would have thought he would have landed instead of going around. Sad to hear.
