Pilot Error!

Lets admit it guys....from the time they crossed the threshold it looked precarious...so why not Go Around....PILOT ERROR!In fact the tower wind report should have rang enough caution bells!ATIS itself was alerting.The plane innocently continued flying and in the last moment during flare you could see that plane being forced down to land....were they low on fuel or something!

It might have been a case of a blue line capt learning the plane from a seasoned FO...but looks like he was carried away with the show to see how it would turn out rather than excerise caution and going around...to his alternate!

Looks like machismo flying was in action!
