A mechanic tried to stop the engine first. When he was not successful the
fire-fighters sprayed it down.

That's true, they showed one mechanic in the left gear well and another in
the cockpit area. If I remember correctly the mag and starter switches are
on an overhead panel that appears to have been displaced. It is hard to
tell from the video what RPM or power was being produced but if it was still
developing T.O. power there was a whole lot of ruckus going on!
