I've only ever seen videos of these and what I saw in person wasn't as extreme as below footage, but even less severe crosswind landings are crazy. It was only an A320 so nothing obscene but seeing some of these giant planes get tossed around like the A380 is a bit surreal. Maybe less so for the Dash 8.
It's cool to think of it as Airborne Initial D at least. Also as far as I know the "sideways" aspect of this isn't that bad for passengers, just depends on how hard the landing is, but it must be funny if you get a window seat and you can see the centerline.
