Diesel engine runaway


The engine revs up and can't be stalled/ switched off. Dense white smoke from the exhaust fills the air. It can happen in passenger cars, too. 

Why does this happen? 
How does one switch off the engine? 
What is the faulty issue termed as? 

P.S: The incident actually happened in a diesel engine passenger bus somewhere in Kolkata in mid September 2024.

Since the past 3 - 4 years there are too m...
