I'd put money down that those pilots had a few drinks after that.Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

Yeah, scary. A client of mine has a Citation X (very small jet) and a few times on landing I swear I thought we were coming down sideways. I can only imagine what that must have been like in that big of a jet.Current Cars2014 M235i2009 R56 Cooper S1998 M31997 M3Comment

That's pretty crazy to see a plane that big go sideways like that. It makes sense that that could happen, but I never really thought about it. Big objects like that usually aren't affected by things like wind (like tanks for example), but a plane, regardless of size, would.Comment

if that plane were trying to take off sideways with a crosswind on a treadmill would it get airborne?______________________

that statement is not true. I sat right seat on a Gulfstream 4 and flew out of PDX in Atlanta with a Citation X taking off parallel runway headed to SAV Savannah Ga. Home of Gulfstream. Both captains placed a bet on who would get there faster. The X had a greater climb but in Cruse the gulfstream gave better true airspeed numbers...
The airbus landing was a disaster from the start. The crosswind component was way out of spec and had no business trying to land there. Should have called for a different runway or gone to the Alt airport filed in the flight plan.Build your own dreams, or someone else will hire you to build theirs!
