Narrative:
We parked at the gate. As we waited for the ground power to be hooked to the aircraft, the captain told me to shut down the left engine. I did, and then I noticed the cargo door open light. I question the crew. We all agreed that the forward cargo door was opened with the right engine running. I checked the block in time -- it was 2 mins from the time that we parked the brake and the engine was running with the cargo door open. The whole time I was hoping no one or nothing would be sucked into the running engine.
