They never reached the point when the rudder would had been put in. For a strict crab technique.
Maybe not the best choice in such a gale.
FD: Reasonable points. I raise this image just following the number of weird crosswind images that come into the public domain. The Airbus seems to be in a world of its own with being either plonked on the ground going sideways with the decorative tail, which exerts high loads on the beam on bogie gear sets, or we see the plane exhibiting PIOs from flying slip on final which is not a great match with AI FBW logic.
Nothing wrong with a go around.
