The Heavy and Super Heavy four engine jets (B747 and A380) are basically landed flat in any crosswind due to the high probability of one of the outboard engines and wingtip striking the ground if a more conventional de-crab/wing down touchdown is attempted. Heck, even in most twin engine jets (those with wing mounted engines, anyway), the amount of bank we can use in a crosswind touchdown is very limited due to the fact that we'll drag an engine. Therefore, all of these aircraft are designed to land in a crab in some very very strong crosswinds. It's not pretty and most GA pilots are typically appalled at the apparent total lack of proper crosswind landing technique. However, as said, proper crosswind technique in these jets IS to land in a crab. Forward momentum coupled with the aircraft's center of gravity being forward of the main gear at touchdown forcefully rotates the nose around, and any pilot worthy of the name will instinctively rudder it straight at touchdown, as you saw.
