I'd be suprised if you got it turned off before engine damage occured.

It doesn't take long for the engine to pump out 5 liters of oil and engine brg damage to occur.

While I have not experienced this personally, my understanding was this happens when the motormounts are colapsed and the belt is the wrong length. So the compressor is kicked over farther than normal to tighten it.
