GAM Aero Commander nose gear failure

Howdy experts,

I just watched the crew do an outstanding job of landing on R 26 at YMEN with an unsafe nose gear. It collapsed as expected.

My question is to the shutdown feathering of the Engines, I understand normally Garetts aren’t feathered on shutdown but why was there smoke and flames on feathering this time? Did they forget to shut off the fuel first and it melted down? (A little like on the old F-27 ( RR Dart fixed turbine ) if you didn’t engage the prop locks after landing it would quickly over temp and melt down…)

just curious.
