Just found this via twitter if anyone's interested, bit of tricky crosswind landing footage

I would have thought a go around was in order but then I'm only a PC Pilot
Thanks for sharing the video,

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.

I think he or she did rather well there.

Any news on what the passengers thought about it?
It's not a 'bird', it's an aeroplane or an aircraft
Re: Ths just found on twitter
Two (rhetorical) questions
1) what is the crosswind limit for the aircraft and was that within the limit?
2) Surely with a high wing and a narrow track undercarriage the pilot would have done better to fly a "wing down" approach and landing rather than a crab approach?

Old pilots never die, they just run out of runway.

Firefox & Chrome managed it fine .

It worked for me in Firefox, George. Maybe a 'plug-in' missing ?GHD wrote:It doesn't work here in Firefox

Worked OK on Opera. Nice to see that the captain had good reflexes & that the aircraft responded to them so well!

That's a rather large man made object being tossed about.
