WTF kind of crosswind does it take to cause this?

Wasn't so much the crosswind as the technique used to deal with it.


Perhaps so - but it's been alleged there was a wind gust of 155 mph:

Could it have been caused by that wing almost hitting the ground? ;-)

The entire approach looked bogus to me, but I'm nowhere near a heavy
driver. The result was exactly what I'd expect with that technique...
