WTF kind of crosswind does it take to cause this?

Wasn't so much the crosswind as the technique used to deal with it.


Perhaps so - but it's been alleged there was a wind gust of 155 mph:

Could it have been caused by that wing almost hitting the ground? ;-)

The entire approach looked bogus to me, but I'm nowhere near a heavy
driver. The result was exactly what I'd expect with that technique...


Why? The approach was perfect until the moment he had to get the right
wing down and "couldn't" or just "didn't" .We'll have to wait for a full
analysis from Mxmanic to be sure though. . .
