Those crosswind videos are always using a camera angle that seems to enhance the apparent angle. The main thing is that for big aircraft is that you can not slip the aircraft. The wings and engines will scrape the ground if you slip them.
Small, especially high wing aircraft can be landed with the nose pointed straight ahead during crosswinds. I much prefer that method. The old crab right up to the end and then hammer the nose around is hard on the landing gear. But irrespective, you can only land a plane with so much crosswind. I have had several times that I could not get on the ground due to cross winds. Obviously that plane had the ability to do it. Looks like a textbook xwind landing to me. Check out the certification test flight videos for xwind landing for large aircraft. They look more dramatic than this. From: castarritt .

I wonder if they turn it off during times like that.
