Looks like pilot was fighting a vicious crosswind. What good flying!

I agree & bet that was pretty scarey for all.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but should the crew have even attempted to land in those conditions?
In my non-pilot opinion, bad judgement, great recovery.

They Viedo was scary enough. Question is should they have done a go-around, rejected landing???

They should have gone around but thats easy to say now. It looks like they had fairly good control until they transitioned out of the crab.
