Some people get this whole "when I'm cleared to land, that means the whole runway" mentality stuck in their head. That roaring noise above their heads was the AA that had to go around.

And yes he was taxiing on the runway at taxi speed, it wasn't like it was still in a deceleration state on the runway.
Extra mileage pay for the AA crew
