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):

DAL1205: Departure, Delta 1205, 2500 climbing to 7000 and looks like we have a mechanical.
DEPARTURE: Delta 1205, Minneapolis Departure, radar contact, maintain 7000, say intentions.
DAL1205: 7000, we’ll need some time to troubleshoot.
DEPARTURE: Delta 1205, roger.
DAL1205: Requesting 4000, Delta 1205.
DEPARTURE: Delta 1205, maintain 4000.
DAL1205: 4000, Delta 1205.
DAL1205: Departure, Delta 1205, we’re declaring an emergency. We will need to return to land, we need some time to troubleshoot.
DEPARTURE: Delta 1205, roger, turn left heading 360, just advise which runway you’d like.
DAL1205: Heading 360 and we’re gonna need 12R, Delta 1205.
DEPARTURE: Delta 1205, roger, expect vectors for the ILS RW 12R, I'll have delay vectors until then. When able, I'll need some additional information from you as well.
DAL1205: Roger, wilco, Delta 1205.
DEPARTURE: Just let me know when you’re ready for that.
DAL1205: Will do.
DEPARTURE: Delta 1205, turn left heading 300.
DAL1205: Left heading 300, Delta 1205.
DEPARTURE: Delta 1205, I need to know what kind of equipment to roll for you, so… I know that you’re busy but… If I could get a nature of the emergency at least.
DAL1205: Yes, sir…
DAL1205: Okay, the nature of the problem is ... It started with a landing gear shock absorber fault. The landing gear did not retract. And also, it looks like several of our brakes stopping. Things are not working. The reversers are not working and normal braking is not working. So we’ll need the long runway, roll the trucks. Souls on board is 142.
DEPARTURE: Roger and do you have fuel on board?
DAL1205: 160 minutes, Delta 1205.
DEPARTURE: Delta 1205, thank you.
DEPARTURE: Delta 1205, turn right heading 040.
DAL1205: Heading 040, Delta 1205.
DEPARTURE: Delta 1205, Since you said you needed the longest runway, RW 4 can be made available, but it's gonna be a half-hour wait.
DAL1205: Yeah…
DAL1205: Yeah, I think 12R is gonna be fine for us right now. We're working through the problem. If it looks like we need 4, we'll let you know as soon as we possibly can.
DEPARTURE: Okay, sounds good.
COMMENTS: Several minutes of audio recording are not available. In a moment pilot will call controller. Continue watching.
DEPARTURE: Delta 1205, Approach.
DAL1205: With the winds as they are we're gonna need RW4.
DEPARTURE: Yes, we’re working on that already for you, sir.
DAL1205: Alright, thank you. I wish I could give you an amount of time right now, but I'm thinking another 15 minutes or so.

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.
