Well, I have a friend who was inside of a wreck in the early 90's when his canister light blew up from H2 build up from lead acid batteries which is what we used then. When he basically got punched in the kidney from the blast he rammed his mask into a piece of steel and shattered the glass. So there he was, inside of a wreck, no light and no mask - got himself out of the wreck on his line, worked his way to the up line and started going up. When he hit the divers on the deco stop, one went up and got a spare mask from the boat and he finished his deco with no problems. Then made the 2nd dive.
The wreck was the Stolt Dagali and he was around 120 feet at the time

I have also had my mask flooded many times in low vis when working or diving around dive classes - it happens.
That's crazy...man, talk about keeping your head on your shoulders. Nice!!!
