The only thing about that landing was that the pilot waited a little too long to decide to go-around which resulted in the wing stike.
Cross-wind landings are common and with good slide-slip control, no more dangerous that a stright in approach.

Wind shear is what ya gotta worry about.

Why all the drama?
