They really should give more thought to where they build airports. Listen to the guys in the background. I can't understand what they're saying, but I get the idea.

It's called crabbing, high cross winds, I've had to to it several times although in smaller planes with the same rules.

Sometimes they have to build runways according to the local geography instead of into the prevailing wind, the way most are built. That was the case here because of the mountainous terrain. A crosswind landing is the most difficult for a pilot to make. That's the one advantage a carrier pilot has, as the boat can always turn into the wind for landing operations.
