If an engine was running that does not necessarily indicate that is could not be shut down. Maybe the aircraft had only just stopped and the crew were still in the process of shutting down. Maybe one engine was kept running to provide electrical and hydraulic power until the APU or ground power was available.

I see no evidence to support speculation that the engine was out of control.

So Let's see, Hmm. The engine is running to provide electrical while being flooded by a fire hose ? Come on !!
