Hahahahah, man we must be related... but seriously, this video was awesome. Much more relatable to the rest of us mere mortals. Truth is, some times we F-up, and some times shit just happens. I think you handled it well and made a helluva good (entertaining and educational) video to boot...
Yambor44 has the best suggestion....I have a hooked radiator pick that I used once for something similar...the towel idea is much better...this is why I use the orange lid style stoppers.
If the bung falls all the way in, rack the wine, and proceed with cleaning as usual. Then you can snake a hand towel in through the top, turn it upside down letting the bung fall past the towel towards the opening. Then slowly pull the towel until it catches on the bung and pull it out. You may have to do it a couple of times. Do a search on removing a cork from inside a wine bottle. Same concept just bigger bottle. :-)
btw, I'm with Immo on the carboy caps instead of bungs... they are only a few bucks and well worth it in my opinion...
