TUI Boeing 757 Comes into Land SIDEWAYS in 40 KNOT CROSSWIND

YouTube description:

Strong winds blowing directly across the runway at Bristol Airport on the 12th October 2018 due to Storm Callum caused this TUI Airways Boeing 757-200 aircraft to come in nearly sideways. Aircraft need to compensate for the crosswind otherwise they will be blown off course, they do this by pointing their nose into the direction the wind is coming from, demonstrated perfectly by this crew. It is always fascinating to watch planes landing in strong crosswinds; the power of mother nature vs the skill and professionalism of the brilliant airline pilots.

The pilots name is Brenda Riepsaame Wassink. Captain Brenda Riepsaame Wassink. Imagine being a Riepsaame Wassink and trying to come up with a name for a girl... and sticking with Brenda.

The pilot does straighten it up a little before touching down. This aircraft type has a 40 kt maximum crosswind limit, so this is about as extreme as it gets.

I don't get how the tires don't get ripped off coming in at that angle.
