At first I thought the flashes might be anti-collision strobes, but a prop coming apart at night on a contra-rotating set-up like the Tu-95 has might look like that, too.
Especially the explosion part.
I live in the northern Chicago ‘burbs and, during the “winter of ‘79, a Lockheed P3B was turning onto the runway at the old Glenview Naval Air Station. The aircraft apparently turned wide and the #4 prop caught the snowbank alongside the runway. The prop shattered and a piece nailed the power turbine on the #3 engine. There was a parking lot nearby and, over and above the damage to the airplane, there was something like $180,000 worth of damage to the parked cars.
