It seems as though the flickering street light near the beginning before the explosion is flickering morse code... but I can't make anything understandable out of it (and it's very hard to isolate and make out).
best patterns I've been able to determine, and I'm not entirely certain of the letter breaks, are:
(at about 11:47-12:10) --- .-. (crash) --. . --. .-. .- --. .-. .- --.
which makes something like: OR----GEGRAGRAG
and (at about 13:57-14:02) .--. -. ...- -. ..
making something like: PNVNI
so it's doubtful I've got it right, if it is in fact morse
