Haha! Love that vid! One of those days when the crew earned it's paycheck in a big way. Been there, done that many times in my 26+ year airline career. Most good pilots I know LOVE days like this, believe it or not. You get to actually WORK HARD at your craft all the way to touchdown and beyond.
(I'll add to my comments by saying I'd have way more fun in that sort of stuff in a big Regional Turboprop or RJ, because they're responsive and do exactly what you want WHEN you want. The Airbus 320's I fly nowadays (319, 320, and 321) are a different story. They can get squirrely and its not hard to get out of phase with the airplane in gusty conditions like this, which is why you see so many narrow body Airbusses in these vids ALL OVER the place. The KEY is NOT to over-use the control stick - to 'stir the pot", as they say)
Yes, the passengers come off the airplane as white as ghosts, or green.
