Your cruise control malfunctioned after you pressed resume following braking. Instead of returning to your set speed, the van accelerated uncontrollably to about 130 km/h and wouldn't slow down even when you applied the brakes or tried to turn off cruise control. The problem was caused by a jammed cruise control cable that had to be cut by a technician to regain control of the vehicle. The fix will likely involve replacing the cruise control cable assembly.

Your engine suddenly revved up and wouldn't stop when you pulled into a parking space, causing the vehicle to hydroplane and hit a building. Your brakes were ineffective at stopping the car during the incident. The exact cause of the engine revving and brake failure should be diagnosed by a mechanic, who may need to inspect the throttle control system, brake system components, and engine management systems.
