Kalitta B744 and BA B763 where very close at final. Kalitta had to go around!!
Can someone confirm this?

That Kalitta B747 (B742 N795CK) did not go-around. It did receive a new lineup however and it certainly looks interesting on "radar" but I don't think it was that critical:

It looks like the aircraft were very close to eachother, landing on the same runway, but I think the BA B763's position isn't very accurate. Many 1980's types of aircraft don't transmit a position of GPS-precision, because its navigation is still based on older IRS/RNAV systems. At that moment both 18R and 18C were in use (Kalitta seems to be the last one landing on 18C) and as it is coming from the west, and also looking at the "radar"-taxi-route afterwards, the B763 must have landed on 18R. You just have to "move" its track a little bit to the west to see where it really has flown.
At the moment of the "near miss" BA was at 2000' (1800' pressure altitude on radar) and Kalitta stayed at 3000' (2800') so they had a 1000' separation all the time. I haven't looked for an ATC-fragment on the internet but I'm sure it was just Kalitta needing a new lineup and BA having nothing to do with it.
G-BZHC landed at 09:10, N795CK at 09:17.
