He was too far upwind. He realized that. Then he turned left to regain the centerline

Watch it again. He was a little up wind but not bad. He 'turned left' to straight up right at touch down which is what you have to do. It was bad luck that a HUGE gust hit them right then. See how far that plane goes to the side? That gust was way more than the steady wind was. I have seen footage of crosswind landings in much higher wind than that. Heck I had ridden in the right seat while my dad set down in much worse winds than that. He had his right wing a little high at touch-down but other than that I thought his setup looks ok. Not superb but workable if not for that big gust. The tower is more at fault. They are the ones that look at surface winds and gusting and give clearance to land.

I’ve looked at it a lot on Fox. I just watched it again. He doesn’t look as far upwind on the video here (first time I saw this one).

I stick with my original assessment that it is pilot induced right wing too high that starts the whole sequence. Tower is not to blame.
