You ground up a cup of glass in your disposal? My guess is that your trap is filled with glass. The trap should be removed and cleared of glass. Oddly enough, it's fairly easy to remove the disposal so next time you might want to take it off and empty as much glass as you can before powering through glass. My way is kind of boring and tedious. Your way is a lot more radical and fun!
