There are 2 Engine Fire Push switches on the glare shield that will stop the engines regardless of the malfunction. The SOV's will all close and the engine WILL shut down. I am not sure why they didn't do this.....I have also done many engine runs at 98% N1....the Brakes will hold the Aircraft at full throttle....and the AC was Chalked....the emergency brake should have been set.....
