LOL, that's why I fly!
From another forum I happen to frequent..FWIW a 747 can land with 23kts of crosswind with no crab correction, just plant it sideways! Makes for a pretty rough arrival, and it's very hard on the tyres as they get dragged sideways for a while until it all settles down.
And notice the tree in the foreground of the video is not moving in a manner I would expect of the wind was 143km/h.From another forum I happen to frequent..
Anywho, the video says 143 kilometre wind speed. That's a lot more than 23 knots.
