you don’t need full rudder even in max x-wind landings on a 747, that DHL is being grossly mishandled. Doesn’t even look like much, if any, x-wind. In fact it looks like the pilot flares a touch early and tries some kind of “wing dip” like in a light aircraft to get a bogey down. Huge no no in a “wings level” aeroplane like the 747.
