Extreme crosswind forces plane to abort landing at the last second

WOW…Extreme ain’t the word…by the time he touched down he was moving almost completely sideways, and when he nailed the throttle, he had virtually ZERO forward airspeed. The A320 is a BEAST for being able to pull off this emergency aborted landing. Kudos to Airbus and the pilot! Although actually dude…I would’ve aborted that landing a LOT sooner.
