Agree that more fuel than wanted means more temperature in the turbine and rapid wear-out. However, it also means more RPM and if it meters passed that emergency response line it may drive the rpms into very bad vibratory modes and fatigue of the disks in very short order.

Such possibilities will require full strip and replacement if confirmed via recorders. In this case with the plane crashed I doubt anybody is looking to reuse anything :0
