Just unlucky, they're designed so you shouldn't be able to, but get it just wrong and it'll take a good gulp.
How much damage usually depends on the speed you hit it and what speed the engine was doing and how much water went in... If it was spinning fast, the inertia will likely have bent something...
As said, whip glow plugs out, crank, clear inlet of any more water so it doesn't just gulp more and go for a start.. You may find it runs fine, only a few weeks/months later it'll spit a rod as something bent... Just pray really!!
