That's what Michael O'Leary calls Pilots.
Check this, I think they're worth every penny.

See that landing happen quite a lot, not of an A380 but of planes in general.

I member being in the jumpseat of a Focker50 into Birmingham airport and he landed it what seemed like sideways and nose first from where I was sitting.
But then again, the runway in Birmingham isn’t actually level, lots of ups and downs on it

I was on a plane once that landed sideways.. just before it hit the ground straighted up..The Airport is built on a hill at Leeds /Bradford. The guy collecting me said..he thought we were all going to die..He said to me...you should find that Pilot and shake his hand.

It's  called Yaw, or a crab landing.
Landing with engines on full power in case they have to TOGA.
Take Off Go Around.
Remarkable skills.

It's what they're taught to do. It's not rocket science.

Rocket scientists are also taught what to do, it's not brain surgery.
