Airbus A318-A380

I have been reading alot about Airbus aircraft lately and found out that the throttle levers are not connect to the engines themselves but to a computer unit , now this is where the question comes in , if there is a fire or a explosion and all the instruments and computers no longer work , how would you get down on the ground safely as you wouldn't be able to control the engines.
