On a gasoline engine, the throttle controls the air flow. More air, more power. On diesels, the air is unrestricted and the throttle controls the fuel. More fuel, more power. On a high performance diesel engine they pour as much fuel as possible and that often overcomes the amount of air available from the turbo, and the result is a bunch of black smoke usually indicating they went too big on the injectors and need to either back them down, or go bigger on the turbos.

Great video there.
We went to see the Moody Blues here in town a few years ago. Lots of grey hair folks singing and dancing to the music in the audience. Kinda like that video.
