The vid shows him at about 30-40º crab.
Makes sense as the records show: Winds were 33kts to 49kts at the time, gusting to around 55kts. coming out of 290º to 310º. They were landing on runway 23(230º).

The second shot was on runway 33.
Doesn't it appear that he touched the left wing first.........and then really scraped the right wing upon correction?

I'm really surprised that he took it back up...........once you're safely down on the runway..........leave it there.

Maybe landed way too long..........???

GERMANY: HURRICANE EMMA, SCARY LANDING IN HAMBURG


(AGI) - Berlin, mar. 3 - The exceptional ability of the pilots of a Lufthansa flight saved the lives of 131 passengers of flight LH 044 from Munich to Hamburg. Shortly after 2 pm last Saturday the Airbus 320 was about to land when a sudden gust of wind from Hurricane 'Emma' lifted the right side of the airliner, making the left wing barely miss the ground at a speed of 250 km/h. The quick reflexes of commander Oliver A., age 39, and co-pilot Maxi J., age 24, added power to the engines before it was too late and the airplane regained altitude. Lufthansa spokesman Wolfgang Weber explained this morning that "the pilots reacted in an extremely professional manner. They executed a manoeuvre that is often attempted in training". Damage to the wing has already been repaired and the airliner is back in service. The episode was widely resonated by the media, but the customary german discretion kept them from fully disclosing the names of the involved pilots. Panic aboard the Airbus was enormous. One passenger later stated that "these are moments that I will not forget as long as I live".
'Emma' has already claimed 13 victims in Germany and damages worth hundreds of millions of euro.
