<If they had been damaged then the engine would continue to run no matter what happens in the flight deck as the engine has its own dedicated generator to power the FADEC and the LP fuel valve would remain open.>

I can understand as fail safe,that loss of data feed from the cockpit would leave No1 Engine running but there must be the ability to close all fuel valves or No1 Engine would just keep running until the tanks where dry
