The other engine provides enough thrust to keep the plane airborne. The pilots (and likely other onboard systems) compensate for the asymmetric thrust with the rudder.
As scary as it looks, this is one type of event that pilots routinely train for, both to get their initial multi-engine certification, and on their airlines’ simulators.

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).
