PART OF TEXT VERSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THAT I'M ABLE TO INCLUDE HERE. Do you want more? Write in comments and I'll give you remaining part of text communications (Read if subtitles in video were fast):
TOWER: Delta 2210, RNAV MPASS, RW 26L cleared for take-off.
DAL2210: RNAV MPASS, 26L cleared for take-off, Delta 2210.
TOWER: Delta 1691, cross 26L, join E, contact Ground 121.9.
DAL1691: Cross 26L, join E, 121.9, Delta 1691.
DAL1691: Tower, Delta 1691, the airplane that just took-off in front of us was venting fuel pretty heavily out of the left wind.
TOWER: Delta 2210, you copy that?
DAL2210: Copy that, Delta 2210.
DAL2210: Tower, Delta 2210, what do you see?
DAL1691: It was near the wingtip, if it matters.
TOWER: Delta 2210.
DAL2210: Yeah, stand by.
TOWER: Delta 2210, you’re about to leave my airspace. I’m gonna give you to Departure. Go ahead and contact Departure. Let them know your intentions.
DAL2210: Alright, thank you, Delta 2210, switching to Departure.
COMMENTS: Unfortunately, we’re unable to hear controller on Departure’s frequency. Everything will be clear from pilot’s transmissions. The most interesting communications will be on the ground. Continue watching.
DAL2210: Departure, Delta 2210, with request.
DAL2210: We’re passing 4700 and we need to come back around and land at Atlanta.
COMMETNTS: It seems that controller instructed Delta 2210 to climb to 7000 feet.
DAL2210: 7000, expect vectors, Delta 2210.
COMMENTS: It seems that controller instructed Delta 2210 to turn right on heading 360.
DAL2210: Via vectors, 7000, 360, Delta 2210.
COMMETNS: It seems that controller instructed Delta 2210 to turn right on heading 090.
DAL2210: 090, Delta 2210.
DAL2210: Delta 2210, our aircraft behind us told us that we were venting fuel out of the left-wing. That would appear to be correct. We will go ahead and declare an emergency at this time. And we have 75 souls on board, 15500 pounds of fuel.
COMMENTS: After that Delta 2210 was vectored to final. We decided to skip next few minutes of communications. According to pilot’s replies there were only standard instructions. There will be communications on the ground, continue watching.
TOWER: Fire Chief, Tower.
FIRE CHIEF: Fire Chief, standing by.
TOWER: Fire Chief, emergency information, are you ready to copy that, correct?
FIRE CHIEF: Yes.
TOWER: Fire Chief, roger, so the aircraft callsign is Delta 2210, Boeing 737, fuel leak, left wing, landing RW 26R, 15500 fuel, 75 souls on board, 0 infants, 0 hazardous materials and just stand by for your readback, please, stand by.

THE VALUE OF THIS VIDEO:
THE MAIN VALUE IS EDUCATION. This reconstruction will be useful for actual or future air traffic controllers and pilots, people who plan to connect life with aviation, who like aviation. With help of this video reconstruction you’ll learn how to use radiotelephony rules, Aviation English language and general English language (for people whose native language is not English) in situation in flight, which was shown. THE MAIN REASON I DO THIS IS TO HELP PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND EVERY EMERGENCY SITUATION, EVERY WORD AND EVERY MOVE OF AIRCRAFT.

HOW I DO VIDEOS:
1) I monitor media, airspace, looking for any non-standard, emergency and interesting situation.
2) I find communications of ATC unit for the period of time I need.
3) I take only phrases between air traffic controller and selected flight.
4) I find a flight path of selected aircraft.
5) I make an animation (early couple of videos don’t have animation) of flight path and aircraft, where the aircraft goes on his route.
6) When I edit video I put phrases of communications to specific points in video (in tandem with animation).
7) Together with my comments (voice and text) I edit and make a reconstruction of emergency, non-standard and interesting situation in flight.
