I wish that wind vien that you see briefly in the first vid was visible for the entire approach. I think you would speak otherwise if you knew the gusts that hit that big bitch from the side.
Go try to drive across a large patch of ice in a semi and trailer, or even a box truck, with a stiff cross wind and see how easily you can drive the truck in a straight line for a "good approach."[/sarcasm]



That second vid is also a great vid for showing the great training those pilots had. Talk about nearly instant reflexes. Awesome save.
