It looks to me like the pilots of this flight were passengers during this landing, and not pilots.
From the very first moment I learned to do autolands, we started to train for upsets at low level. Primary focus, localizer deviations.
This aircraft actually landed on the runway, but they failed to take proper action when it weered off to the left. Stepping on the right rudder is not your first action, disconnecting the autopilot is.
Then they continued off to the left, followed by another runway excursion to the right.
Was the autopilot engaged the whole time?
