By the looks of that, it should have been a divert. Our Airbus crosswind limits are 38 kts including gust. Not sure what the 75 limits are for that airline, but I think Boeing demonstrated limit is 30 kts not including gusts. Sure looks like it could have been more than that. Side loads are not good for aircraft mechanical components. However, I cannot judge since I was not in the cockpit. Great landing nonetheless given the conditions.
