I've seen that airport in a lot of crosswind videos. Seems like it might be time to build another runway.

Looks like a clinic on mostly what *not* to do. @PeanuckleCRJ has experience in some of the types presented... What's your thoughts on this?

Those are some high winds... and that was a demo of a lot of bad technique (and some great technique), too! I second the "they need a new runway," though guaranteed the environmentalists would poop cinderblocks at the thought.
That first A320 rolling down the runway for takeoff... I guess it never dawned on them to raise the upwind aileron, you know, like you're taught from day 1 as a pilot?

Man those planes are taking a beating. That United 757 at 4:20 is tossed all over the place, and if you look at the pilots in the cockpit they're being tossed around like rag dolls. I could be wrong, but it also looked an awful lot like the vertical stab was flexing around as well as the engine pylons. Simply incredible.

The 777 at 8:20 and again at 9:50 looked good. Most of the trash 8 landings looked terrifying but I can't tell if that was just because the landing gear setup on those makes them look like they're permanently on the verge of a vicious wheelbarrow.

That video might as well be called "Continuous Ignition - Active."
