Cooling Fan Belt Jumped Off

I noticed today after I parked that my after run cooling fan was super
quiet, like it should sound. Usually it's loud and sounds like a gerbil
wheel. People ask me if I turned the car off or not. I always figured the
motor was eventually going to die, but it was the belt or the belt-powered
fan blade. I popped the hood to find the very small belt between the two
fans off. I tried throwing it back on, but that ain't happening unless I
remove something. Should I remove the whole shroud at the back of the
radiator, or can I just pop one of the fans loose? Anyone ever have this
happen to them, and why is so noisy when the belt is on? Could I leave it
off?
TIA!
