Lufthansa Cargo 8250 (MD11) Go Around, Mexicana 902 on Runway KLAX 7/17/10

Got this tonight, Lufthansa Cargo 8250, MD11, goes around. Mexican 902 didn't clear the runway in time. Lufthansa pilot sounds flustered when they call back. Cool to hear 2 non- American companies this time.

Good one!

Did it sound like the Lufthansa decided to go around on their own?

That's what it sounded like to me. i heard it live. Right when I heard the controller ask Mexicana to exit the runway quickly, I was hoping to hear the MD11 Go Around. The time between the the controller asking Mexicana  to exit and the go around call was a matter of seconds. I never heard the controller say to go around.  I think it may be real time on the recording.

Thanks
