TAP Airbus 321 Crosswind Landing

This is a video of a crosswind landing attempt of a TAP Airbus 321 at Lisbon airport. The landing was aborted and the pilot chose to 'go around.' A 'crosswind landing' is a landing when the prevailing wind is blowing across the runway. The pilot is putting full rudder and trying to land in a crab (where the upwind wing is down to prevent it from blowing across the runway) but still doesn't have enough rudder left to yaw the plane straight down the runway.
