I was thinking the same thing when I read it. No way a commerical airliner comes out of a 155 mph sideways wind gust that close to the ground on final approach. Plus, watch the video. Had that been a 155 mph gust do you really think the camera guy would still have been standing and keeping the camera on target and in focus? He’d be tumbling down the field.
