We had a couple of very windy days over here in Europe.
Look at a crosswind landing of an A320 at HAM, a near crash:

Next time someone tries to tell you that airliners just "kick it straight"

I just sent this out this afternoon to our human factors people as an
example of how deeply a pilot has to fly into a problem before realizing
it isn't going to solve using existing control authority.
Absolutely amazing! This guy is on the way to a memo from the Chief
Pilot's office fairly soon I would imagine.
Glad they made it out of there.
