Nah he just forgot hes doing his second job. His other job - landing planes in heavy crosswinds.
Sadly I cant find any decent video's of "crabbing" a plane in on the tube - they're either crap quality, or have crap music in the background. Here the "drifting" is a nessescity, to keep the plane travelling in the direction of the runway centreline, even though the nose might be pointed 20-30°'s off it
Saudi's do that kinda stuff all the time. They get freaking nuts over there. Drifting Toyota Camry's firing their automatic AK's out the windows and stuff. I don't think the bus driver "lost control because of the laser" because you can see that he was initiating the drift or, well, craziness, well beforehand...
