First approach at roughly 230AM body clock after descending through area with severe turbulence reports.
Wind gusting to over 40Kts.
Wind shear Go-Around.

Just on that I'm exhausted and jittery entering my WOCL.

Now, hold for two hours and attempt landing #2 in pretty much identical conditions.
Go around and an accident.

Their contingency plans were well thought out and appropriate and the report backs that up in terms of assessing hold fuel, diversion airports, and potential FDP issues. The one thing the PIC didn't brief at all was their level of fatigue and/or mental state after an extremely taxing evening and the very real possibility that despite a great plan(shoot another approach and divert if necessary), they physically and mentally may not have been able to cope.

So sad.
