And the nasty thing about it is: it is getting more and more common with modern diesels getting more and more "fragile". The worst thing is, people CAN save their engines, if they are able to stall it. But because we are all getting more and more lazy getting automatic transmissions, a simple "stall" is getting harder. And with the oil levels in diesel engines raising (due to the DPF systems) and therefore the diesel getting pumped into a slightly worn turbo being blown into the engine and igniting there, there is no way to stop it easily...
This here was filmed and it shows the death...
Volvo also has a few issues with their D5s (before ~2011) where the oil level rises and the engine just blows itself up...
