Close-up aborted crosswind landing (A318)
Gusty crosswind at right angles to the runway making life very difficult for the Air France Airbus A318 pilot here at Birmingham Airport (BHX).

The slo-mo sequence of the initial touchdown shows the wing and engine attachment flexing and oscillating with the impact of the left main undercarriage on the runway.
After the "go around" the second landing's fine.
