This video was obviously shot in very windy conditions, but 100kt airspeed is wildly wrong. We're talking about a class of planes where 100kt is a typical cruising speed, with maximum speeds not much higher. With stall speeds like 37kt or less (before accounting for ground effect), landing with a ground speed of 10kt doesn't require a hurricane-force headwind.
