Yeah unless they were out of fuel, isn't the procedure to... Orbit and use nearly all fuel?

If they had the bird strike like they announced, it might stop their engines mid go-around, what is really bad spot to be in

Got it, I assumed the mentioned bird strike related specifically to the nosecone area and the front landing gear, but engine fidelity remained. Again, an assumption based on my first read

Based on the explosion I highly doubt they were low on fuel
