Plane landing sideways at Bristol airport
Action around 0:30.
Oct 2018, so I'm sorry if it's been here before but I didn't come across it until today (via reddit).
It's a 757, landing during Storm Callum.
The TUI pilot was Captain Brenda Riepsaame Wassink.

Twenty six gusting forty knots...
.... is on the 757's crosswind limit if it was at 90 degrees to the landing direction (30kt demonstrated, 40kts manufacturer's). So Cap'n Brenda proved them right, and the misogynists wrong.
These conditions are generally referred to as 'sporting' in the aviation fraternity

How much of this was Brenda
And how much of this was the on-board computer, though?

The approach may have been auto
But the flare, touchdown and landing roll-out would be manual.

So the wheels don't freely rotate to the direction of travel?
There must be a massive amount of torque on the landing struts then?
