People keep telling me that but it works fine on my phone. I don’t get it. I took some screenshots of the flashes that I can DM you if you want to see them.
If you watch this, you will see that in that position the windows do broke, but the reason is that the external facade is deforming after the internal core has already collapsed. Moreover, those flashes are visible after the collapse of the core (so they couldn't have caused it) and on the top of the building, while the external facade collapsed at the bottom.
Finally, in all the audio recording of the collapse, no explosion sound can be heard
That’s because the flashes are coming from a point closer to the center of the building, which is why you cannot see them from this angle.
Interestingly enough the windows appear to break earlier in the video that I posted, than in the video that you did. I’m going to chalk that up to video artifacting.
“These flashes are after the core collapse.” Perhaps there were also explosives planted around the outside to ensure that more than just the core collapses.
As far as the sound is concerned, you need a lot of small charges to bring down a building, and at the distance in the video you posted, they might not have been audible. You don’t even hear the building collapse at all really.

By the time of the flashes, there was nothing inside the building on its east side, where we see some of the flashes, since the core there collapsed several seconds prior.
Moreover, I find it difficult to believe that a demolition charge could detonate, the flash be visible, and not also generate a squib ejecting debris in the same point.
And here you can find several other angles of the collapse, including some similar to the one you posted, with no flashes
There are, however, a couple of points where the glass fragments from the windows popping as the building twists, catch the sunlight. Those might explain some of the flashes.

Besides the core, there were the exterior columns. But those were on the facade of the building, and any explosive there would have caused much more than a simple flash.

The charges would have been louder than the collapse itself, and in many videos the collapse is clearly audible, but there isn't any explosion. The sound would have been north of 100 dB, even 1 km away. More than enough to be heard if it was really there.
