Time to shut down the engine using normal procedures.

Once an engine goes tits up for any reason (doesn't respond to throttle) leaving the fuel on produces more flame in the taipipe then thrust. While of only minor concern to safety it does excite the SLF and ground observers

No doubt the EGT was fully pegged when the pic was taken
