Whoever put that wind report in gusting to 60 knots last week at SEA confused a lot of people. That report was two days after this video at 1AM. The video was taken during the day time. No connection. Nobody has stated what the wind was when they landed but it looks like about 30 knots looking at the trees. We have all landed under those conditions many times. The 757 is a very stable aircraft, my favorite, and the rudder and spoiler inputs seemed excessive in the video.
