every one on the news is freaking out about this video. I don’t know why. Crabbing a landing - regardless of the plane’s size - is a basic flight skill.

What I thought. Our one runway airport was not well aligned with the prevailing winds. I had to do this all the time with a Cessna 152 that got blown around like tissue paper.
The first time I flew into Ontario, California it seemed way worse than this landing. Going sideways, but also bouncing around alot with the wind way up, then way down, up, down.... I thought it would hit the runway and snap off.
Then at the last instant the wings stablized and we landed. Whew! That was a lucky one.
Until flying in a couple weeks later - the same thing happened. After that trip I realized this was a pretty common occurrence.
