The ultimate crosswind landing attempt?

While we know that the geometry and telephoto optics distortion of these croswind landings is often misleading, this one looks like it must have been rather stressful.  It is amazing how many of these crosswind landings are available on youtube.

I suppose it is a matter of "any attempted landing you can walk away from is a good one"!
Best wishes,

What is it with all these pilots failing to de-crab prior to touchdown?

They think the use of rudder is for one engine operation only.

Thing does not yet "Decrab! Decrab!" at them?     :-P
