Thanks for piecing this together!

No problem.  It was my first real attempt at audio editing.  It didn't come out too bad, if I may say so myself.

Excellent job by the controller.  Very calm.  I wonder if he was trained by Boston Gregg?

Wow! Nice catch! Nice clip too, great job putting that together! 

Great job by controller!

Here is a little more info on the incident from Avherald:

"A Chautauqua Embraer ERJ-145 on behalf of Delta Airlines, flight RP-6049/DL-6049 from Boston,MA to Columbus,OH (USA) with 25 passengers and 3 crew, rejected takeoff from runway 09 due to a smell of smoke during the takeoff run, slowed safely and turned left off the runway onto runway 33L and stopped at the intersection with taxiway Delta. Another flight lined up for departure on runway 09 departed before arriving emergency services closed the airport, the Embraer was evacuated, the passengers were bussed to the terminal.

Runway 09 was reopened about 7 minutes after the runway closed.

The cause of the smell is still under investigation, there are suspects that the smell may have been caused by de-icing fluid."

He did have a bit of Boston John inflection in his dialog!
