A question for those familiar with the aircraft - does initiating the fire suppression also shut down the engine?
He put the bad engine to idle but didn't shut it down before activating the fire bottle.
Is there an eductor fan that would blow the suppressant out of the engine bay while the engine is still running?
Someone posted the relevant part of the flight manual here earlier I believe. In short, yes, hitting the button will cut the fuel. Also, the fire supression is smart enough to delay the bottle (if fitted!) until N1 has dropped.
