Agreed!

They HAVE to be landed in a crab, or you drag that expensive #1 0r #4
engine on the rny!

They are designed to handle the side stress....

Tires (are still) cheaper than engines....

Bob is right about this one . Another thing about certification is
that a transport category plane is certified to touch down in a crab
right up to its cross wind limit . The idiot narrating this video
should try landing one of these in a cross wind without contacting
the ground with the engine nacelle . On the Boeing you only get a few
degrees before this becomes a factor . Gyder is an idiot .
