I think the flashes reflected on the tarmac were the planes strobe light.
Agreed, when I watch it slowly it seems to be the strobe. Now for some reason I don't see the additional flashes that some members see. Unless they are talking about slight wet lens flare.
sad event.....RIP
From CNN
"It said the plane's two pilots had failed to make a proper landing approach on the first attempt and then began a second run.
They put the plane's engines on maximum power, raising the plane's nose up at a sharp angle, causing a quick loss of speed.
At an altitude of about 2,200 feet, the crew then tried to gain speed by taking the plane into a dive but it hit the ground at a near-vertical angle in a spectacular crash. "
Good grief. What was going on there?

According to YaHoo, #1 was just a missed approach. It sounds like Murphy came into things and created a control problem, as I think they were starting another go around, and something went haywire
This certainly is reminiscent of United 585 (http://www.airdisaster.com/special/special-ua585.shtml) and US Air 427 (http://www.avweb.com/news/safety/183027-1.html?redirected=1)
The rudder PCU actuator problem involved in those two previous accidents was considered fixed, years ago. Still, other than mentioned by others as a possible stall event, well. The FDR and CVR no doubt will provide many answers.
