Default Boeing 747 & 777 autoland in crosswind certification video - impressive!

Yikes, those were some sick xwinds - I was expecting to see the clip at
Hong Kong's Kai Tak of the 747 landing and dragging the #4 engine in a
shower of sparks...

I can just imagine the conversation on the 777 flight deck - F/O: "The
wind's one-eight-zero at 25..." CPT: "Great! Ask if two-seven is
available and have 'em roll the the trucks..This oughta be good..."
