> The other engine provides enough thrust to keep the plane airborne.

We could hear the remaining (loud) engine as the plane flew over. Our house is less than 2 miles from where the parts landed and right under its flight path.

The boom just before that sounded like a sonic boom and shook our house perceptibly.

There's been some property damage (a smashed truck top and a big hole in a roof) but no reports of injuries to this time (18:45 Mountain time).
