Edit: I was transcribing this when you were, apparently; but here's mine, in case we caught different things.

1:23 Tower: tells a departing helicopter to depart 2 mi straight out, turn right, squawk a certain signifier on its altimeter (standard practice), and approves a frequency change (also standard practice);

1:28 Tower: cuts out briefly and then says "..is closed, San Francisco Tower."

1:31 Tower: silence, then starts to tell a Horizon flight something and the Asiana pilot cuts in with [hard to hear, best guess]"San Francisco?" Also, Sounds to me like they put Asiana 214 on a priority channel over other flight traffic, or that the tower cut itself/other pilots off when they saw/heard Asiana 214 was speaking.

1:36 Tower: Asiana 214 Heavy, San Francisco Tower

1:37 Asiana 214: [unintelligible, but my best guess: This, uh..., how much is this, uh, where is, uh,... uh,..."]

1:42 Horizon 635: 635 is going around

1:43 Tower: Horizon 635, fly heading 265, maintain 3100

1:46 Horizon 635: 265, 3100, Horizon 635

1:52 Tower: Asiana 214 Heavy, emergency vehicles are responding; they have everyone on their way.

2:00 Skywest 5452: Go around, Skywest 5452

2:34 Skywest 6389 [garbled]: What's the... frequency for that?

2:36 Tower [garbled at start]: [garbled] point 1, Skywest 6389.

2:39 Tower [garbled at start]: Rescue three three, San Francisco Tower, proceed to the scene, cross runway; [garbled, maybe "Rescue"] eleven, San Francisco Tower, proceed as requested, cross all [garbled, "runways"?]
