Those mp3 time hacks seem to be slightly different depending on the player.

On the approach control LiveATC clip Emirates 5KP is given "cross ASALT at 3000, cleared VOR 13L approach."

At 25:42 on the tower clip linked above "Emirates 5KP low altitude alert, check your altitude, Kennedy altimeter 30[.]43." "3043 Emirates 5KP."

Then at 26:03 "Emirates 5KP you appear to be extremely low on your approach, do you have the runway in sight?"

EK then went missed for vectors and it appears that they subsequently successfully landed out of the VOR/DME 22L.

The FR24 data looks like they were indeed quite low. They should have been 800 feet at DMYHL, the FR24 track log shows 250 feet and they continued down to ZERO indicated (uncorrected) altitude on the FR24 plot for several data points before going around. Any apartment building rooftop clotheslines and satellite dishes missing?

The flight is the one that departed on December 4, the times and dates are often a mix of local, your computer and UTC on these online trackers :
