Even if it isnt windshear in the final analysis, there comes a point in the landing where **** just happens and the other pilot cannot rescue it.

Admittedly lots of things are obvious fairly early and intervention earlier rather than later fixes most things, but in windy, choppy conditions sometimes the arse just drops out of it and any intervention by the capt is difficult if not impossible.

Dont know what runway it was in cbr, but the hangar there hasnt made conditions easier in some wind conditions, not an excuse, just an observation.
