In a plane that big is he simply able to push the throttle and pull back on the stick and regain altitude? I had heard that they land at a speed that they can go back up if needed. Is tha just fighters on carriers or does it apply to these big guys too?

Well i am not an professional pilot so anyone feel free to correct me, but for a missed approach the pilot has something called decision height at which he must intiate a missed approach if he feels for whatever reason, runaway not insight, runway conditions are not met for a safe landing. The ATC talk would be just the pilot informing ATC of the missed approach and than the pilot will follow the missed approach procedure for that runway and ATC may augment if required.
Although was the Continental a missed approach or a go around?
