April's Fool prank - funny (there have been a few this year already) Dialog about how to prevent or deal with a runaway - priceless

I know, I know, I had to stall until the video was ready: even as a rush job it took time. ;)

IT BLEW!!! Oh no, it violently blew. knocking loud and running at high rpm, something big let loose. Lots of smoke and oil everywhere. Nose about cut off. ****.

I don't have a fire extinguisher and even if I did I am not inclined to climb up on the truck right now. I forgot to mention, my truck has an extended intake pipe so the snorkel is way up in the air, near the exhaust. The motor is running faster and faster. How do I bring this under...

I started my Deuce a few minutes ago, taking it out of its long winter's sleep. The good news is that the batteries held their charge. :) The bad news is that I think I have been jinxed by all of the recent run away threads. The motor started normally, blowing black smoke, and then it kind...
