I read about this the other day, the engines would not throttle back and they had to leave them to run out of fuel. I think they even contacted GE/PW/RR or who ever the engine maker was to see if there was some way to shut them down LOL. There was also a mention that the black box showed the a/c operated as it should have....

Bit embarracing for Airbus - brand new plane written off just moments before it was due to be handed over! The ground runners were very lucky - fortunatelly, no one was killed.
