No, it says "HEMI" on the OP's front fender (easier to read when the photo is enlarged).
File a complaint with NHTSA at http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/
This is a safety issue and should be investigated sooner rather than later.

Thats kinda scarey and I have had that happen on an old pickup (late 70's chevy) where the linkage to the carb got stuck open, however turning off the key will kill the engine. If it were to happen that the truck was going on its own that would be the first thing I would do, turn the key off...
Maybe it will be in the best interest to install a kill switch in plain sight when I go to install my cutout over the weekend just to be on the safe side

Unless of course you're driving a manual. My panic stop ritual in my former Z3 5-speed was to bury the brakes, let the ABS do its thing, and bump it into neutral.
It is interesting that the two recent incidents have been HEMI equipped trucks. I wonder if it's not somehow related to the MDS goofing up.
My truck for work is an 08 HEMI (I work for Fastenal, we have over 2500 new Rams as our store vehicles). I certainly hope my truck doesn't floor it on me and cause me to plow through a customer's front door!!
In the other thread where the truck hit the boat.....did his airbags deploy? It doesn't look like it, and there certainly looks to be enough damage.
Edit - read the other thread, no airbag deployment in the Ram vs. Boat incident. Interesting.....
