He's goin a tad too fast to make that corner isn't he?

The caption said "...44 kts crosswind..." Yikes! I know I've read that certain a/c should divert if crosswinds are above a certain speed...

Pretty crazy, man. Would love to see a video of the full landing. That outside tire be nearly squashed flat on the rim.

Tower: "I said exit the runway WHEN ABLE!!! Not like RIGHT NOW!!!!"

Man that looks like a scary landing...

Is that one of the famous AirBus testing runs where they do touch and goes in a strong cross wind to test the landing gear and all?
