Tail wind was too high...
That's the excuse the pilot gave after he aborted the first landing attempt.

I guess landing into the wind isn't an option?

Probably stayed in the air a half day so the world was turned half way around and the wind was coming from the other direction.

Better than blaming "tail wind too high" as the reason for a crash!!!

You don't land with a tail wind.
