Not hilarious at all to pilots knowledgeable about this stuff. Obviously, condensed from real time.

Actually, if you listen carefully to that video(around4:42) the controller appears to say that "They DID declare an emergency" but it also sounds like "DIDN'T". Seeing as the aircraft did declare an emergency and the controller likely knows what MAYDAY means, I suspect that the transcript has a typo and it should stat DID.
