It sounds as though you are an engineer?
Thrust control is a separate system and does not shut down the engine. It appears this cable bundle was unaffected.
Had that cable bundle been damaged, and I appreciate that it appears not to have been in this incident, could it leave the engine developing high thrust or would the local control, adjacent to the engine, have reduced it to idle? i.e. would the the engine stay at the last commanded thrust setting, or would it, in the absence of valid command input, have defaulted to some pre-configured value -- if so, what? Is there some other means of controlling thrust or shutting down in an emergency -- maybe not from the cockpit, even?
