From my linkedin feed, (thank you FL360aero for the story)
Here's the audio, a bit lengthy, only thing not captured was at the end
with the freq change as that feed is down.
All ok is what's important.

Delta Airlines flight DAL576, with 149 passengers and six crew members on board was forced to activate emergency protocols and return to Mexico City International Airport (AICM) after reporting a technical failure during its flight on Monday, April 7.

Delta Airlines Boeing 737-832 aircraft (N399DA), which was on its way to Atlanta, reported the technical failure shortly after takeoff, forcing the pilot to remain in a holding pattern for approximately 40 minutes before returning to the airport.

As per some sources, the aircraft suffered navigation systems failure.

The incident activated the AICM's safety protocols, including the temporary suspension of operations on runway 23L.
