There's a recall on the ES350s also since they share components with the Camry... Same accelerator problem. I believe it was the IS250/350 which brought the problem to the news first also.
I'm sure they tried to put it in neutral, but I believe the car wouldn't allow it considering they were using full throttle. On a car with a manual gearbox it's probably easier to do this than a computer controlled auto.

It was happening before, if you watch the 3rd link (2nd youtube video) the OP posted, you'll see they interview someone who survived a wreck after the accelerator stuck on her Lexus ES. Didn't see that one in the news because no one died, but it was happening.
