Cool video. It's worth waiting through the advertisement, IMO.

Man, that looks rather insane. Some of them seem to be moving rather sideways after touchdown. How does the tires/gear like that?

757/767 both are approved for landing crabbed in up to 40 knot crosswinds. Pretty beefy, but not great on the tires.

I just imagine the landing gear folding at that point, hah
