Gtfo, ultimaker mishap

Yesterday the printer was printing some simple parts, one got separated from the build plate.
The sucker stuck to the nozzle, the filament path was blocked, pressure build up, and the filament burst from the back of the nozzle(where the filament goes into the nozzle).
Ok my mistake, i was not at home, my father did not see what happened, and some material got wasted.
Luckily nothing got damaged.
I removed the head, boiled it in water and broke the material of.
Then i cleaned the nozzle with a drill bit so it won't get clugged. 
The printer is now back together and running.
