Sunroof Glass Flew Off

So I was headed to the mall on the meadow brook parkway out here in NY when I started hearing wind sounds coming through my roof. I slide my sunroof shade back and , I heard something fly off my roof. I quickly pull over and inspect my roof, there's no sunroof glass anymore. Everything else is still there, the framing still slides back and tilts up and down but no glass. Anyone ever experience this problem?

I googled the issue and it happened to someone else as well about 4 years ago.

This is the only thing I'm paranoid about with the car when it comes to highway speeds. Did the glue separate between the glass and the mounts, or did the screws fall out of the mounts?

Mine almost did that this morning on the way to work but i heard the air noise and pulled back my sunroof shade and saw the glass bouncing up and down and about to fly out so i hit the brakes to slow way down and pulled over and pushed it back in and then slowly drove the rest of the way to work. Is there any way to fix this if my glass is still there? I assume the gasket that holds it in is the problem and probably needs to be replaced?
