There is a mention in the report, but they had moved well out of the way of the jetblast and the dust blowing about.
Not that they could have done anything to prevent it happening, actually.
They did manage to stop one of the engines after the crash, though, by smothering it with water and foam. Two engines had already stopped by themselves (damaged). The remaining one was up against the blast wall, and thet couldn't get enough water and foam in to stop it, so it ran on until the feeder tank was empty.
