Combustion pressurized the cooling system when the gasket blew and forced the coolant out.

Its a good thing it blew into the coolant jacket and not between cylinders. When they go between cylinders combustion can cut a channel through the block and head the same as if a cutting torch was used (don't ask how I know).
