Narrative:
Upon approach to landing; we did an aborted landing and flew for the next 20 minutes; staying in our jumpseats. The captain made an announcement saying that we had a problem with the gear not coming down or at least the indication light was illuminated. He landed the plane on the next go around without incident. The crew was not aware that he called an emergency landing until we were taxiing and saw all the emergency vehicles and after talking with the captain in the crew shuttle bus. I believed the crew should have been informed of this emergency landing and whether or not the bracing signal should have been given.
