So what's the problem? He landed in a crab, either because of the xwind or to give the camera drones a nice show. Hardly anything flexed, and I didn't see anything fall off or bend permanently.

Only thing I can't tell for sure is if he possibly oversteered slightly taking the crab off, and wiggled around a little bit. But given the short landing and the inital crab, I suppose he was likely doing differential braking while slowing down for the exit. I suspect this kind of landing isn't practiced in the simulator every day.
