Yes, but even though the engine was still powered, I wonder how long it would have lasted being exposed like that. Wouldn't it also increase drag on that side of the plane? If you're a thousand miles from an airport, I gotta wonder if the engine holds up. It seemed to be shaking a good bit in the video.
It wasn't still powered after it caught fire. The first think the pilots do when an engine catches fire is shut off the fuel and hydraulic fluid to it. The reason you see the vanes turning is because of the air passing through causing it to free spin.
