Why @ExceptionHandler(value = Throwable.class) doesn't catch OutOfMemoryError?

Question

I have the global application handler in my spring mvc application:

@ExceptionHandler(value = Throwable.class)
public ModelAndView redirectToErrorPage(Exception e) {
   ...
}

In place#1 I write following code:

@Override
public void save(Content content, MultipartFile multipartFile) {
    if (true) {
        throw new RuntimeException();
    }
}

after throw RuntimeException program execution goes to method redirectToErrorPage

If to replace

throw new RuntimeException()

with

throw new OutOfMemoryError()

then program execution doesn't go over to the redirectToErrorPage method.

Why?
