What makes you think its an emergancy landing? Pilots come in like that all the time, especially at airports that have strong winds due to being near large bodies of water(as seen in the video).

There is nothing out of the ordinary with this video, complete plain control loss is totally different. Sometimes there are mechanical failures that dont allow for maneuvers that would ultimitally save the plane.

All pilots are required to know how to do that, its not a talent.
