Can only assume unscheduled inspection in order after that

A lot of people have put forth that same question in this thread. Here’s the thing, the Boeing demonstrated crosswind components, which are NOT limitations, are carried out with zero slip. Landing using crab only is an acceptable method according to the manufacturer of the airplane. Also, consider that landing using only side slip will also place a lateral load on the upwind gear as it touches down.
Not sure why some are up in arms over this video. There’s no obvious violation of any limitations or regs. Looks like the pilot made a judgement call and had a good outcome. I don’t see the problem.
