Default EGR Problem

I was coming back from a short drive through my subdivsion when i heard a really loud sucking/hissing noise coming from underneath the hood. First thought was a bad vacume leak. I drove home (about 20 sec away) and looked underneath the hood only to find that The EGR tube had completely popped out of my intake manifold! Even the part that holds the screw in to the manifold. I have no idea what i need to do to fix this...please help

If it comes apart, look into a 2 part epoxy and you should be just fine.
