I dare say a tiny bit of over controlling might have been part of the adventure.
and who says pilots don't rock and roll?
For once I agree with jondc9, the 757 is fairly suceptible to pilot induced oscillations (PIO), there are numerous incidents to show that. However if done correctly the 757 handles well in crosswinds up to 35 kts (tried 50 kts in the sim and it worked...).
