Default A380 Landing in LAX

Anyone notice what seemed to me to be rather large deflections of the
rudder during landing at LAX the other day? The video is on CNN --
can't provide direct link so go to CNN video site and search for
"Gigantic jet arrives in U.S.".

Was there a significant crosswind that morning? On touchdown, the A380
appears to turn a bit and then recover. I believe the 380 gear is
designed to land somewhat crabbed on a pivot and then turn straight.

Comments?
