Earthquakes strike without warning and require very little time to do unimaginable damage. Help is at hand, however, as the Smash Lab mavericks look for a home-saving solution in the hold of an aircraft.

The final answer is found only after much testing and building an artificial earthquake machine capable of going right off the Richter scale.
