Hypothetically what would one done if ceramic pieces off a spark plug fell through the spark plug hole?
Already tried vacuuming with tube
Used claw thingy .
Tried blu tack on the end of a tube
Ive read that starting the engine with
spark plug removed could work but there s a good chance the pieces would fly out the exhaust valve and into the turbo. I have tdo5. How strong are turbine wheels on these turbos?

One would have dashed all hopes of ever becoming an explosives technician 
On a serious note, have you tried compressed air? It might be safer to do if it was on the compression stroke so the valves are shut.
I have seen a nut be removed from a cylinder in the way you described, but I think it would be up to you to determine if the pieces in your example are small enough for this to be safe.

I do like explosions but not of the 4g variety.🔥 I don t have a compressor but I should be able to borrow one. I have a bore scope atm I can see 4 largish pieces on top of the piston. I just need a claw on the end of the bore scope and I will be sorted. Such a small spark plug hole

might be a bit harsh on the piston crown but can you crush the pieces into smaller particles...really small.
then get a hose about 5mm id....it needs to be about 2 meters long. now a vacuum cleaner.....shove the hose inside the vacuum hose about 500mm and use some tape to hold it there. dont block the end of the vacumm hose or this wont work. turn on the vacuum and you should get a little bit of sucking action{dont we all like that!} now insert the hose inside the cylinder and vaccum out the pieces.

What about using bore scope to move them to the centre then use claw to grab them , might take a few shots but will get them. Or try brians vacum idea but not crush them , just let them suck onto the hose and remove
