Labor Day drama..?

I just drove 200 miles to a friends house for the weekend and upon arrival there was a noise coming from the front of the engine. When I looked under the hood with the engine running the radiator fan assembly was weebing and wobbling all over the place. With the car off I took this video:

The question is, can I drive it 200 miles home, or must I fix it first? Is there a quick fix to get me back on the road? Thoughts?

Unfortunately that bad water pump is not going to make it 200 miles. I wouldn't be surprised if it already leaked out a large amount of coolant. You can fry your whole engine pretty easily if that lets go on the highway. The fan flying off would take out the radiator too.
