insight on earth shakes

I told E tonight that there was a big earthquake in a place called Haiti, like the "earth shake" in the movie Land Before Time. She remembered that part of the movie and said, "Where the ground broke?" I said yes, and in Haiti buildings fell down and people got hurt. She said, "And they'll have to go in the 'ambience' to the hospital!" I said yes. Then she added, "But they can't because the ambience is broken, and the bed is broken, and the hospital building is broken!"

That's pretty much the situation, actually.
