No they don’t, they quote a passenger saying it was struck by lightning just before it crashed as well as saying that it was struck by lightning immediately after takeoff.

They also quote an Aeroflot source confirming that everyone was off within 55 seconds then embed a video which shows people departing the aircraft long after that time.

The usual rubbish reporting I’m afraid, which even the normally reliable BBC isn’t immune from! 😡
