Narrative:

Arriving at the gate myself and the two other flight attendants around me smelled an extremely strong smell of fuel. We called the purser and they reported smelling it also. She then called the pilots. Passengers around us starting covering their faces with hands; coats; blankets. We were told by the pilots after everyone was off the aircraft that one of our engines would not shut down. They had to 'force' it [down]. The fuel smell came into the cabin through the vents. The flight was cancelled as they worked on fixing the engine.
