I would have thought that the almost 45 degree crab relative to the
runway that he was forced to hold towards the end of the approach
would have warned him that when he would kick left rudder to align
with the runway for touchdown that he wasn't going to make it.

I found myself reaching for the throttles way early on that one!

IMHO, it involves an interesting discussion of crosswind landings in
