looks like the plane was flying backwards

Maybe the pilot said " oh shit I am supposed to land in Munich and not Hamburg" and then decided to head North to the proper Airport.

Of course from this angle and with a telephoto you don't get the sense of airspeed during this incident. No chance they would have been able to stop safely once the plane had righted itself?

Is this really true?!

Other factors that could have added to problem might be that when yawing you are speeding up one wing and slowing the other so the tendency is to roll with yaw especially if the wings have big dihedral angle (this one has quite big dihedral angle). I doubt this would have made much difference though and is easily compensated by ailerons. Although I see NCpilot79 says an airbus won't let you apply opp rudder and aileron so maybe it WAS a factor? That would be crazy though if it's true!

Wrong, I think it was a gust of wind that banked the plane left, not pilot error.You see the plane is flying into wind (facing right) but traveling in direction of runway (this = crosswind approach) Just before wheels hit ground the pilot (correctly) yaws the plane to face in the direction of travel (ie down r/way). At this point there is now a strong side component (from the right) to the airflow hitting the a/c. It might be made worse by getting 'trapped' between ground and r wing.

Airbus Garbage, doen't let the pilot fly the plane the way it should in a crosswind- Won't let you cross control with wing down and opposite rudder.

He has got to do a full round..

the pilot was a woman.... (no kidding)

The pilot try crosswind land no "declared a missed approach and go round"
