Guess that might be directed at me as I posted a while back.
My inference wasn't that they had or hadn't touched the switches rather an observation that they were being powered..
Either the APU which would be running on landing if they had shut down an engine (was it an engine fuel leak... we don't know), or the left was still running.
I do trust you but did you put the rubbish out this morning?
