Flat tire on the highway

Hi every one, just wanna share my bad moment with you...
I was driving on I 278 to Brooklyn last nite, I felt something was sticking on rear tire, after 2 seconds I heard "pop" sound and I knew something went bad...
I pull over at the side of highway and I could hear air was losing....
Common step...call the truck, find 24hrs tire shop, and replace the rear left one.
The only thing I am impressed is that shop has only one tire which is my size...how lucky I am..
Ps: it was a bad heavy raining day...
I also do have a question here, when I circle the key once (not fire it up), after a few seconds I can hear some noise from the engine part, and disappear 2 seconds later, is it normal? It sounds like valve adjusting or whatever...

The one thing I dreaded was a flat on the BQE. Not a lot of shoulder in most stretches. Worse w/rain. Glad it worked out. Can't speak to the noise. Near experienced that.

That noise maybe the water pump? Buzzing sound for a few seconds ?

Not buzzing sound, it sounds like something is adjusting, and one, two, three...and gone.

Does it sounds like a CD getting ready to eject? There is a lot of stuff the computer is adjusting as you open the door and insert the key. Does the sound come from behind the radio area of the dash. Normal and appropriate.
