Not sure if it has been posted before but saw this clip of a Thai A380 landing that could have gone very wrong very quickly.

I think the uninformed comments on the page are a bigger hoot...

Should be ... "HOW to land a 380 in crosswinds ...."

Pilots did a fine job although looks slightly unstable on short final and sounded like they hit the Go-around button.

I don't think a Qantas pilot would have been permitted to land that lack of stability. Be interesting to get jb747's view though.

The Mighty Boosh's Bouncy Bouncy song comes to mind.... "Bouncy, Bouncy, ooh such a good time."

slightly hairy, but I think this was pretty well done at an airport notorious for intense crosswinds.
