That was one HELL of a cross wind - had to have been 30+ knots across the runway. The plane was a good 10-15 degrees off to maintain it's line - squaring it up on touchdown is no small feat. The pilot made a good decision to get back on the power and look for an alternative.

Yikes, I'd have to change my shorts after that one.
