Wind
The only practical point I can add to the above post by PBL is the common phenomenon (northern hemisphere) that during a gust the wind usually veers, so that gusts would increase the problem for RW 23 and decrease the problem for RW 33.
Interesting in the ATC post is the term by the crew - give it one try. Indeed, with a parameter as variable as wind, you can try, and perhaps land in a quiet spell, or go around during a gust.
Whether the aircraft handling was proper or not is difficult to ascertain from a distant camera shot - I expect that recorder readout will provide the necessary details, also solving all the riddles about flight control inputs versus actual control surface deflections.
