Will it start? and other such "restoration" videos are entertainment when cars and bikes are involved, too darned risky when aircraft are involved.

From the looks of the props, it appears neither engine was producing power on impact.
Someone at the airport heard backfires on takeoff.
There's a picture in a reddit thread on this of someone who recently got a giant slug of water from the Signature FBO at Coatsville. They've had a bunch of rain there.
So many possibilities. The prop strike wasn't severe, right hit a taxiway light and left the runway edge on reentry, and fwiw they did the AD proceedure (but not a teardown). So it could be anything from a mag failure related to that, a simple crank fail, or a fueling issue. The fact that neither prop appeared bent or feathered ? Engines intact, no fire, so NTSB will get around to it eventually.
