i feel bad, especially for the kids.
i also feel like if you have time to dial and talk on your cell phone to 911 at 120mph in a runaway car you have worse problems than your floor mats. hell they probably could have pulled out the owners manual at that rate. electronic gizmos or not (push button start, nav menus, confusing i-drive controls or whatever) i'm amazed that a "regular" non-enthusiast driver wouldn't choose any of those basic options to stop the car under panic/duress.
neutral - key off - brakes until no booster, then ebrake: problem solved.
oh - and toyota lost their balls long ago. no surprise on the rollover from the beige king.
