Have you seen this one?
This guy is good.
Whoopee! Big deal; I used to do forward slips to a landing all the time in my Piper Tomahawk. Well, now that I think of it, doing the same in a 747 might be a bit more technically challenging. Heh heh.
Seriously, I wonder why the strange attitude just prior to landing ... maybe pilot was simply crabbing into hellacious crosswinds?
Reminds me of one time I was playing golf at a course not far from the Maui airport. As a pilot, if I hear something out of the ordinary in nearby airspace I'll stop what I'm doing and look up. I sure looked up when I heard the engine noise of some heavy metal cycling through loud, soft, loud, soft ... lo and behold there's an L-1011 cutting big-ass S-turns on short final - I suppose on tower orders so they could get some other aircraft off the only runway they have for heavies. It's one thing to do S-turns in a small aircraft; but quite another to see the big boys doing it!
