Beautiful video and excellent PR for the helicopter industry.

Is it not the case that, because the Burj is shaped like a huge sail, there is a significant change in wind at the final stage (up to 180 degrees in some conditions) and that pilots familiar with landing on the pad are used to it and ready to deal with it?

Is it not reasonable to assume that the pilot(s) given this high profile task knew what they were doing?
