Tony,
To be honest...
I don't believe APR had anything to do with this.
If the crew made it to stand (as reported) with one engine at a fairly high power setting whilst the other remained at or near idle, it begs the question, which engine was most likely to have been shutdown first? My
guess is, based purely upon the result, the one with the working thrust lever (doh), which IMHO would seem most probable as the other was jammed or not working properly and to this point in time it hasn't been confirmed that the problem engine had been shutdown. In any event, as some have suggested, why had they not pushed the FIRE push switch on the glareshield (at some point) prior to landing, or prior to entering the apron area? Because of their being WOW, airspeed likely at or near zero, no APR activation would result due to incorrect logic.
