It looks like one guy was smart enough to decide on the abort and the third guy had the winds figured out better than the other two!

The first guy had to be over limits. Must have been a fun ride for the pax, especially in the back rows

I was just opening the topic up for conversation. I've landed in a 37kt crosswind in the A330, but not so gusty as this - must have been a helluva ride!

I was thinking the same thing, but noted a car that seemed to be traveling at a normal speed.
Then again, the car was probably at crawl speed watching these guys and the video being sped up made it look normal.
