I hate cross wind landings. Thats so hard to do. Even Chuck Yeager got in trouble with his P-51 not to long ago trying to land with heavy cross wind. What they should have done here was apply left rudder around 100 feet to correct the problem. What they did wrong was apply left aileron which is what led to the wing touching the runway in combination with the cross wind pushing the right wing up.
