That video is why most of us, in a strong gusty crosswind, will prefer to set up a slipping final approach coming up to or over the boundary fence rather than in the flare - makes the flare cognitive feedback loop much easier by removing a bunch of inputs from consideration.

If the pilot had fed in some slip (the other way) during the yaw it would have been a fine landing ... a bit of cognitive overload one thinks ?
