The pilot didn't take corrective action at all when close to the surface.
Ironically the 777 crosswind technique includes the ability to 'plonk' it on and kick it off on the runway, no crosswind correction at all! Most of us use either a crab or a wing down technique with some using a combination of both but Boeing are happy to allow a full deflection touchdown with correction on the runway!

You're looking at an F6 there sunshine.
Ooop's, sorry missed the belly tank, 20 minutes of fuel!
