Watch your back, Rad, this one is gonna give you a run in the "You Da Man" competition.

 
The title suggests strong crosswinds, but there is not much crosswind, check the windsock, and also, he is left wing low with the cross wind coming from the right. Just a bad final approach.

After further review - this is the old (now closed) Hong Kong approach. These types of landings were normal. That guy just overshot the runway center line by a few hundred feet. There was no cross wind - check out the smoke off the tires too.

The approach plate shows the instructions in plan first and then in a verticle plane with the various radio ques where they are intersected.

Any Non-Directional Beacon (NDB) approach is tough enough but there is no time to stablize the approach. so Hit the Middle Marker (MM), turn right and land if you see the runway else abort - at all about the same time. I think it was considered the worst approach in the world to the heavies.

If you are a real heavy pilot please don't pick this apart - I'm doing the best I can to explain it.

Any it's way cool to see the big one thrown around like the littles.
