WTF kind of crosswind does it take to cause this?

Why did the pilot even start the approach with such high and gusty
winds? Also, what is Lufthansa's policy regarding Max Crosswinds?

It's normal to do so when it's within limits.

What does the POH say the Max Demonstrated Crosswind capability is?

We don't have POH's. We have an AFM which is effectively the same thing

After crabbing for awhile, it looks like he tried to slip.

Nope.


Then when
the plane hit the runway, the landing gear made it fly level.


Nope.


The
wind caught under the right wing and nearly flipped the plane. I'm
glad he flew out of the situation rather than trying to kill the power
and stearing out.



Nope.
