I never heard of a run away Diesel running backwards, but I guess a two cycle could. Two cycle ship diesels are reversed by starting them backward. But I thought that if a Diesel just ran away, it ran in the forward direction, don't know what kind of kick would make it go backward.

The poor driver just about crapped his pants. Blew everything out the bottom end of that poor engine, too. He was going up a hill with a full load of block, for a short time, was doing pretty well until he hit the red line and just kept on going. Agree that the CO2 extinguisher was an excellent idea, someone was thinking on their feet in a pressure situation.
