It looks like it was just hovering over the runway for a while.

Seems fake but apparently is not. I was wondering WTF was I watching? The article said gusts up to 68 kilometers, which is only 42mph.

The landing on the 380 is automatic with little if any pilot input. Is this right?

People are praising the pilots but I question their sanity attempting a landing in those conditions. Not worth the potential risks.

It's capable of an ILS III landing, but that's not what this was. I'm actually really surprised the pilot didn't de-crab the jet to line up with the runway, that landing gear had to be holding on for dear life.

380 demonstrated xw component is 38kts, looked like a good crab and kick to me. Have to hold rudder and wing down through the float or you lose centerline, and a 380 doesn't have much room on either side of the mains. Passengers probably felt nothing until all the wheels were on the ground
