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):
COMMENT: United 120 was at 31000 feed, about 100 miles east of Boston when the crew contacted Center Controller.
UAL120: Boston, United 120.
CENTER: United 120, go ahead.
UAL120: Yeah, so we’ve had a maintenance issue arise on the airplane. It’s gonna require us to return to Newark. So we'll need to change our destination to Newark International Airport, please.
CENTER: United 120, cleared to Newark via right turn direct NELIE, join the FLOSI FOUR ARRIVAL.
UAL120: Right turn direct NELIE, join the FLOSI FOUR ARRIVAL, United 120, thank you.
CENTER: United 120, is this issue an emergency or normal?
UAL120: Non-emergency now, negative on the emergency, United 120.
CENTER: Roger.
COMMENTS: They will declare an emergency later. Continue watching.
CENTER: United 120, do you need the… to NELIE?
UAL120: That would help, please.
CENTER: Direct to N E L I E and FLOSI FOUR ARRIVAL.
UAL120: N E L I E then FLOSI FOUR, right turn, United 120 Heavy.
CENTER: United 120, initial heading 265, direct NELIE when you’re able.
UAL120: Initial heading 265, direct when able, United 120, thank you.
UAL120: Center, United 120.
CENTER: United 120, go ahead.
UAL120: United 120, at this time we are in fact declaring an emergency. We have 238 souls on board. That is 238. And I can give you fuel in pounds at the moment or I'll just calculate time.
CENTER: Okay, United 120, do you… What’s… State the nature of the emergency?
UAL120: Nature of the emergency is an engine overheat message. It’s on the left engine of the aircraft. The engines are currently operating normally. However, we require reduced flap landing in Newark on 22R.
CENTER: So you have an overheat warning on the engine and you'll have to do reduced flaps? And you said 238 passengers?
UAL120: Yes, that is correct, 238 souls on board. Fuel remaining currently is 7+24. We will have to dump fuel. So we’ll need a place to dump fuel and that will be about just shy of 17000 pounds dumping.
CENTER: And… fuel dump… at this time?
UAL120: As soon as possible, United 120.
CENTER: United 120, fuel dumping is approved and I'll work on forwarding that information…
UAL120: Fuel dumping is approved. We’d also like to request 15000 feet to help us burn more fuel and reduce that dump amount.
CENTER: United 120, descend and maintain FL240.

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.
