Fake News? Sounds like you don't know what that means. Fake news is NOT the facts you don't want to hear. Fake news is fiction presented as fact.

Same old story, quickest way to re-kit a plane is fly it thru a T-storm.....
They departed KUUU - Newport where I am tied down - and were regular visitors. Got to be assured about the work the NTSB put into looking into this sort of thing. Multiple checks with witnesses or potential witnesses about their departure. And though everyone is pretty sure they did not use our self-serve fuel - it has been subject to extra scrutiny and sampling to make sure the fuel is clean. (Not suggesting that this was a dirty fuel incident - just illustrating the checks made to eliminate the possibility).
"Thunderstorms moving through area at the time'. Tell me when they are NOT around here in the summer. Now I accept that they can be very localized and me sitting in Newport would not know what was happening in East Hampton - but the TS were very scattered that day and strongest in intensity to the north, moving south and weakening by the time they got to the coast. Factor? I'll let the NTSB dig through that.

If you go in the preliminary report, they show a screenshot of the weather radar. It was plastered with T storms and lightning strikes. The up and down drafts could have been incredible. Not sure if accurate but take a look
Enough said FA!
