Exciting, but not close to a crash. Friend of mine who flies (FO) 320s interpreted:

the airplane touches the right main first, it hops, and then it sets down both mains. Look at the wing and you'll see all the spoiler panels go to "half brakes". This happens when you have main wheel spin-up without the strut being compressed. The airplane is trying to get itself to settle so that it can go to "full brakes" on all the spoiler panels, unlock the reversers, and apply the autobrakes, if selected. But then the aircraft gets pushed by that gust, it rolls left, the airplane says, "**** I'm flying" and closes the brakes. Then the pilot sets TO/GA thrust and pulls the stick, planting the tail, and they go around. There is a delay from idle to TO/GA so presumably, he slams the thrust levers up, and pulls before the engines respond.
